Hi,

Again thanks to all who have answered my questions so far. You have been very helpful. For anyone who may be interested I finally figured out how to post a few pictures of my 1947 One Ton Truck to the galleries. The new album is called 1947 Lumber Truck. ( I know it 's not an F3... just guessing at the closest category). If I was more computer literate I would understand how to put a link to the album in this message. Perhaps someone will expain that ?
Thanks,
Neil.

 

Under the quick reply box there is Go Advanced if you click that you can add pics to thread. Just scroll down the page to attach files, Thats a very nice truck you have. took me a while to figure all this out 2.

 

Thank you. I have tried this and I can not see where I can attach files. My posting rules continue to say " you may not post attachments". I am using a Mac . Maybe its browser is just incompatible. Glad you liked the truck anyway.

 

You cant post attachments unless you pay to be a supporter. I finally asked the question on one of the communications forums, "why cant I post attachments?".
Nice tonner you have there!

 

Neil, great looking Tonner you have. It's always great to see the bigger trucks still around. So few of these around compared to the 1/2 tons.

 

OK Guys I know what a slick is, I own 2 of them, But sence I have never herd of a Tonner, Where or how did the older trucks get that nickname?

 

Bill, it just seemed to fit.

 

Tonner is what Ford called the early 1 ton trucks. This goes back to the introduction of the 1 ton in '38. The ones with pickup beds, like the one I have, is known as an Express. This applies to the 1 ton pickups, not the 1/2 ton, oddly enough. I believe '47 was the last year they were referred to as Tonners, since '48 brought out the F Series.

 

Bill it is your turn. What is a slick, other than a rear tire without tread?

 

Well It is a 61 to 66 F100 I "Guess" it's somthing to do with the style of them. Thanks for asking.
