A little pricey but I hope it gets saved instead of butchered

Some nice back fenders. Those things are unobtainium. But yeah, kinda pricey especially with a cheby engine.

Very nice! Does that mean a worn out jailbar will command that kinda price ten years from now? I think not.....

The seller is probably just throwing a number out there to see what sticks. You can always go down as they say. But, who knows until you show up with a pocket of cash and start throwing numbers around.

He does have some great spare body parts. Pull that Cheby out of it and insert a flathead V8, then put that pickup bed he has for it, and it would be a great old ride.

I find it weird looking with the 36 grill on the 37 cab.

Trivia for the evening, 37 was the first year Ford offered the stake bed on a 1/2 ton chassis.

But for whatever reason, even the 37 grill on a 37 looked like it was just stuck on as an afterthought. Not blended into the lines like a 36 grill on a 36.

After 34 the snout kinda grew every year to make more room in the back for cargo capacity. By 37 it started looking like a protuberance with the grill past the front of the fenders and the bed also grew about 6 inches that year. IMO, it wasn't until 40 that they were able to do it stylishly.

And then right after that they had to put those chipmunk cheek fenders on the jailbars. I guess the trucks are like the owners... Not quite perfect!

Well, they still do it now. New pickups just get uglier, boxier and taller for no reason other than that's what they think people like. And apparently they do because the new pickups go up 10% every year. You can bust $100,000 on one now and people just keep buying them.

Looks like it still has the stock trans. Chevy was probably installed with an adapter to the trans so it wouldn't be that much trouble to drop in a flattie.
