I could have substituted Trabant (or Wartburg) for Goggomobile,
Geez, I remember my dad always bragged about how he had a goggomobile motorcycle when he was dating my mom in Germany. We're talking 1930's and 40"s maybe. Must of been the hot thing back then. I didn't think anyone knew what they were? LOL...

I bet that is one fast little car. I have a 51 F1 and it came with 16" wheels on it. They was 5 on 5.5, as far as the truck's value it is hard to quess a price with just 2 pics, but I think it is worth more than $500 dollars. Heck a car you take to the scrap yard here will bring almost that. Looks like the glass is in pretty good shape and the front fenders look to be buildable, most of them are to far gone when you find them. And as said before the flathead motor is worth that. I've sold a cracked motor that could be fixed for $350. I had a 48 F1 that I sold, so I could buy the 51 I have now and it would need about as much work as yours does. Mine need glass put in it and the flathead was cracked in it also. It need alot of work and I mean alot and I sold it for $1800 dollars and I didn't even give half that for it when I bought it. But I did buy alot of body panels for it. All in all it looks like you have a good truck to build. Like I said I have a 51 also so if you need some pics of certain things just let me know and I will try to help you out. Scott

Hi!
I think it´s more worth, The Wood-Bed is rotten, the stepps also, but the fenders are enarly without rust, new Trunkdoor, interior is ok exept leather, Glass is eprfect, frame ok, engines makes no Water-Smoke
But to go on germany Highways I think an 302 Injection will be the betetr choice.
I have from a 66 Galaxie Front and Rear axles with Disk Breaks, I think i will check if that fits......

I work with a guy who is from Germany, he has been here for 12 yrs I believe. His name is Detlef. I would say he is around 45-50 yrs old. He has some great storys to tell. Sorry back to your truck. I think a 302 would be a good choice also. I would want to keep the flathead if it was mine, but the storys I've heard about the Autobon(maybe mispelled) I don't think a flathead would be a good choice to run those kinds of speeds all the time. Try to post some pics of your truck. Scott

I still think your truck has 15" wheels. The thin line white wall of the size (1" w/w) on the right front wheel of your truck were introduced in 1963. US cars back then had 14" or 15" wheels. Only 3/4 ton trucks usually had 16 inch wheels, and I've never seen a thin line white wall of 16 inches on anything.
Ford trucks with 15" wheels (1940/1996) are 5 lug = 5.50" bolt circle (exc 1980/82 F100). 1960/64 Galaxies are 5 lug = 4.50" bolt circle.

Hi!
Thanks for that, but I will invest some work in that Truck.
The thought is:
New Engine, maybe a overdrive Automatik (we have Traffic Jams, too), run on Liquid Propane Gas (2.7 a Gallon instead of over $6 a Gallon Gas), and longer the bed and frame to carry Motor Cycles on it. The Galaxie Axles are from 66, otherwise install Disc Brake Coversion Kit in Front. I´m shure that the original Axle, when overhauled and well served, will take a speed from 1ooMph and more without problems....
If somebody wants the tranny and the engine, give me an offer. The engine runs without Water-dust in the exhaust

The whels I have on it now are 15"x8", the original wheels that I sold was 16"x4.5 or 16"x5". I sold them to bobj49f2 that is on here sometimes. He bought them to put on his panel truck. My dads 46 ford truck 1/2 ton had the 16" wheels on it to just like my 51 did. I'm not a expert but every original 1/2 ton I have seen a car show has the 16's on it. The site that Dick put up is right. My truck didn't have white walls on it either, so are we talking about the same truck here. There are a couple of good pics in my gallery of the old wheels that was on my truck, if you want to check them out.
