I like it !! I like it a lot!!
What year is it ? 48?

 

You're about 10 years off. Quick look says 38-40, but one of the other guys can probably see detail that would zero in on which year exactly. Stu

 

Stu you were right on the years ,here is a 38-40 coe

 

The 38-40 has the oval grille, the 41-47 coe's have the bar grille.

 

Looking through James K. Wagner's book, I think 1940 can be ruled out. The pictures of a 1940 all show a winged emblem at the top of the grille. The '38/'39 models don't have that insignia. Some '38/'39s are pictured like this truck with no bright trim down the center of the grille, others have a full chrome rib down the center. I guess there were base and deluxe trim packages back then too. Stu

 

Can I assume that the second axle is a tag axle? The back one has no power to it?

 

My Grandpa owned my 54 F100 from December 1954 to June 1977, when I bought it from him. I have found only one picture of the truck despite him owning it all those years. There are plenty of pics of my Mom's family harvesting tobacco, getting in hay, etc. There are lot of pics of his John Deeres, even pics of the horses and mules from the old days when my Mom was a little girl. I know they used the truck in the tobacco field because I drove it as a little kid. The picture I have is a picture from our picnic woods with the truck in the shade in the background. Not a good shot of the Old Ford Truck as they called it.

Perhaps someday a surviving aunt or uncle or a cousin will find a picture of my truck, back when it was a real working truck.

 

Found this one;

 

 

 

What a great video! Thanks for sharing.

 

That was a very cool video! Man I love that oval grille.
The message really makes you think. I think today society has forgotten the importance of cheap efficient transportation needs for the goods we purchase.

 

Here is another. I like the comment about his wife...

 

I don't think I've seen this one before - Those Merc's were a wild ride

In the true spirit of wrecker's doing their jobs - Not sure if this a Ford - Let's hope not.
