Kit Truck???

Found this 47 Ford glass truck on CL 1940-47? Ford Truck
I didn't know that there was enough of a market for FG manufacturers to even build a truck body of this vintage. I am sure that there are a few "darksiders" who would be excited about this.

The cab doesn't surprise me. The 40-41 Ford pickups are extremely popular, and it just so happened that Ford used that same cab through 47. But a fiberglass 42-47 front end? I wouldn't have expected that. Interesting.

Yes, surprise to me on the front fenders and hood, but very interesting.

For that price I'd snap it right up! Although the front end appears to have been made in several pieces and glassed together (see shiny area across top of fenders). Someone may have just pulled a mold off a steel body, it isn't that hard except for the cab.

I see fiberglass doors, rear fenders and box sides, too. Ad does say complete body, so I assume that's all included. At $1600, that's a deal.
