All I can say is get it before it's gone ! the next stop for that is the smelter , save it !
I know it say's "Ford" on the dash, but I don't think that's what it is...the grille, front fenders, and shape of the cowl, are not Ford...maybe someone just stuck the Ford emblem on the ash tray...
...also, Ford's had the gas tank filler on the driver's side, that one is on the passenger side...plus, Ford's from that era had the headlight's mounted IN the fender's...

It is an oddity but the door molding is 40-47 Ford.
Get it Chip! Do you need a running(?) 350?

Looks like a 1941 Ford Dump truck that my uncle drove for years. Yes the front sheet metal is original. that style was common on the big trucks until 1947. here is a similar picture.

42-47 ford trucks DID have the filler spout on the pass side.......both my 46-47 cabs can prove it....

I'm thinking 40 / 41 / 42
I found a hood similar to that on a 42 an drug it home from abandoned farm. It now hangs in my garage awaiting a mural...looks like this one. Cab is early model due to small rear glass. Great find.... headlite buckets w stands, column drop and steer box, dash, strip it if you can't afford it, grill, fenders,cab..... ahhhh heck just buuuuuy it.

I drove a 41 pickup and a sedan delivery for years. Everyone thought they were 40's
I changed the hood and grill on the delivery so it looked like a 40 delux
Just to complicate things the 40 and 41 big trucks shared the same front sheetmetal

That is a 1940-41, 3/4 ot 1 ton truck. The 3/4 ton and 1 tons cab is 3 inches higher then the 1/2 ton. The fenders and head lights are similar to the 38-39.
Most people mistake them for 1942 to 47 Ford trucks. in 42 the cab went back to the same size as the 1/2 ton.

Hope you save it. I Done one with the 3/4 sheet metal. I like the way they look and if there are no badges on it, it will have people asking. I had two old guys tell me I did not know what I had and it was an International.
