Anyway, I have known the guy forever and when I was a kid I remember using this truck to haul stuff around on his farm. We used it to haul corn cobs on a few occasions I remember specifically from the late 70s and early 80s. It has been stored inside over it's life, when not working around the farm. He had always planned on restoring it, but has recently come to realize, that probably will never happen and he's thinking of selling it, so it doesn't just sit around for another 20-30 years before someone trys to save it.
It ran when last parked in that spot within the past 5 years or so I think. It’s a 1930 AA series Ford and he has a good clean title for it. The frame is excellent. The fenders have some dents, but no rust through. The rear lower cab needs some sheet metal repair, but for the most part the metal is solid and very nice.
After reading through lots of posts here, I thought if nothing else, most of you might enjoy seeing it in its barn-fresh present condition. This isn't really an attempt to market it just yet.... the guy has 3 grow daughters he plans to run the idea by first to prevent any hard feelings. I doubt any of them care too much about it.
Anyway, enjoy the photos. If you want to provide feedback on the worth of the truck, please feel free. I'm sure he won't give it away and he certainly doesn't need the money. If he eventually decides to part with it, I imagine he'd be more likely to do so if he knew it was going to a good home and wasn't going to get chopped up, parted out or hot rodded. That's why I wanted to share it here.
