Tudor monarchs ruled the Kingdom of England and its realms, including their ancestral Wales and the Lordship of Ireland from 1485 until 1603. Henry Ford thought that was cool. It was a marketing ploy. Manufacturers had pet names for different body styles. Fordor - 4 doors but henry liked that Ford was used. And regarding that first comment of Tudor - - From 1933 to 1939 Ford in England were badged Fordson. Once again - the word Ford used in the model, then the Tudor used in USA. You mentioned no self adjusting brakes" point of interest: The 1925 Cole, in its last year of production, had them. They would not appear again until 1946 when Studebaker used a Wagner Electric Co. mechanism. Ford actually had self adjusters - -1961 on passenger cars, 1964 on F100/250's & Econolines, 1966 on Bronco's. 1963 was the truly big year for them. This is a beautiful "redo" and I truly like it but color interior far from original. That said I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Always like the Ford line of pickups. Boy the 1940 was a big styling change from the 1939 . I do think the 40 and 41 Ford pickups were about the best looking trucks with the iconic water fall grill.

Chains on that tailgate are for hooking and holding it up level when down, and that "cruise control" throttle knob is for running equipment via jacking up the rear and attaching a belt drive to the rear axle, as in sawmill, etc..

That's not a starter button...You test you foot on it as you use the throttle. Keeps her from bucking

That same approach was used in many early Ford vehicles. My 1930 model A two-door sedan had the same thing. I also want to mention the light switch in the center of the steering hub. Or did that for quite a while as well, but the two different directions are not the same. In my vehicle one was for low beams and the other was for high beams. While I'm not familiar with the pickup truck, I suspect they are employing the same idea here. As for the manual throttle on the dash, that's somewhat similar to the throttle on the steering column in the model A. On a cold day you would use it to increase the idle speed.

@@RisoSystems I'm getting the impression that these pickup trucks were just used to "haul pumpkins". Fact is these pickup trucks were worked hard by farmers. Hauling milk cans, cases of eggs, grain to be sold at the elevators, grain to the mill to be ground for cow, pig and chicken feed. Overloaded, worked hard and put away wet. They were not pampered as most pickup's are today that won't get a scratch in the bed. And the manual throttle had other uses as well. I recall my Dad using it when backing up (it was a truck btw) and standing on the running board so he could see where he was backing. Also used when we lost electricity during storms. Vacuum pump for the milk machine couldn't be used but the cows needed to be milked. Connect a vacuum hose from the intake manifold to the vacuum tank, set the throttle for a bit over idle, and start milking. Not as efficient but beat milking by hand.

Beautiful truck! If you notice, the door handle to close the door is integrated into the door next to the window. I would think that the inner door panels would have been later covered with the seat material as is the cab liner. Even well into the late-60's, inner door panels were metal or cardboard and if they had headliners at all, they would also be cardboard. The later headliners could have also been added on after the fact and not integrated. Windshield wipers were optional and could have been manually operated. The early powered models were vacuum powered by a vacuum pump integrated into the fuel pump. It was popular later and easy to install electric motors on the wipers. A common brand was Bosch.

In the Tri-Cities Washington State there was a driver that had an amphibious British car from the 1960s that he drove across the Columbia river, to commute to work, saving himself about 15 miles of driving.

Another clean, simple classic truck. I would love to have something like that in my garage but that would be quite frivolous... but it would be sure fun. I miss the clean-simple, painted dashes of classics such as this Ford. And the wide open engine compartment would be a dream to work in. Interesting that the flathead had TWO water pumps, one for each side. Cooling must have been great. Cars and trucks of that vintage never used antifreeze coolant, so water temperature regulation would have been critical to prevent boil-overs. The ventilation system was not only essential for the summer to keep the occupants cool, but I found in my vintage VW that letting some air inside during cold and damp conditions kept the windshield clear of fogging... important if you had no heater or a weak one. I was amazed at the paltry horsepower figures of these classic vehicles; but I realize that speed limits were 30 to 50 mph, roads often were not paved outside of town, the trucks only had efficient manual transmissions, and the vehicles themselves were lighter in weight and lacked modern accessories that would have drawn down power. One thing that would discourage me concerning early vehicles is the lack of syncromesh, double-clutching is something I never was any good at.

Actually, the Ford flathead V8 was a shocker for overheating, mainly because the exhaust ports ran all the way through the engine block before they met the exhaust manifolds. The Cadillac V8 was better, as the exhaust manifolds were atop the motor to alleviate this problem. And I'm not sure when Ford started using a pressurised cooling system, but I suspect that this truck might predate that. On the low horsepower figures, remember that horsepower = torque x RPM, and motors revved lower in those days, but still made decent torque, which is really what gets the car moving. Also, compression ratios were low, as higher octane fuel was more expensive - military aircraft got it, but you and I didn't.

If I was creeping along in traffic in second, I always had to come to a complete stop to shift exposing me to a potential rear-ending. Volkswagen finally made the transition to full synchronization in 1960. One thing that the older fully unsynchronized transmissions was they were cut with larger toothed gears that were machined with double-clutching in mind, making that satisfying clicking sound you mentioned as it went into gear.

@@captaccordion You are right about the overheating problem. However, in 1937 the two water pumps were moved from the top of the block to the bottom. When on the top the pumps pumped hot water into the radiator and lots of water pumps failed. The pumps being on the bottom pulled cool water from the radiator and into the engine effectively solving the failed water pumps and overheating because of their failure. The engineers finally widened the cooling passages around the exhaust valves further aiding in engine cooling. And before all of this the engineers had changed the pitch of the radiator fan to be more efficient. All in all, these improvements effectively solved the overheating reputation of the flathead. However, the radiator coolant had to be checked often because it was darned hot in there and would boil away on a hot summer day. Had they pressurized the system that problem would have been more or less solved, but that didn't come along until years later, plus the fact that owners didn't flush and refill nearly as often as they should have, and you know water and metal makes rust and many of those old Fords were killed simply because everything simply filled up with rust and water did not circulate. Thank Heaven for the coming of Anti-Freeze and regular maintenance.

The last Ford that used a magneto was the model T. All Fords after that had point and coil ignition. The coil on that truck was originally mounted on the top of the distributer that is located on the front of the engine. Also when you open the tailgate you are suposed to hook the chains not let it rest on the back bumper. You seem to be confused about armrests. They are not door handles. The inside door pull on that vehicle is at the top of the door.

That brings visibility down substantially... no next to nil. I mean even with the super charger blower delete still can’t see that far down the road.Ever time you stop at a traffic light of stop sign or any sit idle for a long period, you can hear the car literally shanking it’s self to pieces but that’s just me opinion if your into hod rods i think that’s cool just was never my cup of tea.

Hi Jay. Nice truck, but it's way prettier than any truck which left a Ford factory. Dual chrome horns, 2 tail lights, cloth door trims? Nah, they were much much more utilitarian than that. The steering wheel ain't original either. In my part of the world, these Fords are referred to as the ones with the Beer Barrel grille. Now, you need a bit of a sorting out on Ford V8s. The 60hp V8 may have stopped being manufactured by Ford in the US in 1941, but it remained in use in British and German Fords until the 1950's. It remained in production by Simca (France) until the 1960's, as they had been under Ford ownership at one time. And I've a vague memory that it went on to gain OHV heads somewhere in South America, again, in the 60's. Regarding the 239 V8, the 39 - 48 versions and the 49 - 54 versions are very different. The later 239 was called the 8BA. Significantly, it lost the integral bell housing, but the easiest way to pick them is the distributor, which is 'normal' and at the top of the motor on the 8BA as opposed to the earlier arrangement where it sits at the end of the camshaft. And magnetos on a Ford? Not since the 27 T model as far as I know. Cheers.

Originally the water pumps were mounted on top of the block and pulled hot water from the engine into the radiator. Lots of cooling problems and water pump failures. In 1937 the water pumps were moved to the bottom of the block and pushed cold water into the engine which solved some of the flatheads overheating problems and no water pump failures.
