45' 1.5ton
A 1.5 ton flat bed/stake side truck came along with some property I purchased in the mountains several years ago. It is titled and registered as a 1945. I don't have the VIN right here in front of me, but I will post it later. It is complete except for missing glass and the original motor turns over under 6v battery power. I am trying to decide what to do with this. I am into old cars (57'TBird & 68 Gran Sport Buick) but not sure which direction to go. First, I this vehicle of any interest, rare or of any value? I welcome any input from the experienced.....I have not figured out how to post photos yet but I can email to those interested.

Beatnon,
Your truck looks a lot like one that I disassembled for parts on my 1/2 ton. It is not rare or of significant "collector" status, but is nevertheless Old Ford and cool. Maybe you could drop one of your extra Y-blocks into it. If you have 5 acres or more of property there is always a need for a good size truck.

The most significance a '45 has is as sonme of the first post war trucks made. Of course a person in early '45 could buy a new 1.5 ton if they had proof they needed it and were approved as needing one by gov. It looks really nice, pretty rust free and complete from what I can see. Like 46yblock said, with that much land it's not a bad run about on your property.
