Go buy it. What year and size truck was it on?

Abe, I don’t recall if the cab and front cap were on the chassis.

Yep, that's the way my truck was with a Knapheide bed on it when I got my truck from my wife's grandpa. When I had a bed built by my son in shop class we did that same thing for the most part.
I don't have pictures handy but I can get them when I get home.

Here is a pic of the original restored timbers that went between the frame of the truck and the Ford script bed.

I had to go to the antiques consignment place today. I got a letter saying they are closing. I took stuff there back in 2012. I still had a few thin5that didn't sell.

So here are the pictures of the Ford flatbed with FORD TRUCK written in script.

The license plate says 1924.

There were also another Ford truck and old tractors and carriages and buggies.

Looks to be a neat place! Were the vehicles for sale or just atmosphere?

I think they are props. I didn't see price tags on them. But if the right offer was made ... especially since the shop is closing.

There was a small Allis-Chalmers also. And an old Dodge.
