I bought this truck about 7 years ago. Although I had a strong start on its restoration, I have no time to work on it now and just haven't been able to make any progress lately. When I parked it last November it was running fine, but I'm having trouble getting it started now - I'm pretty sure it's a spark problem. The engine does turn over and runs strong otherwise. The truck has been converted from a 6 volt positive ground to a 12 volt negative ground for better reliability and easier bulb / electronics replacements. It has also been converted from a point and rotor system to an electronic ignition. If the ignition is the reason why it isn't firing up right now, there is a spare included that could be used. I've replaced or repaired anything that seemed to need it. I've kept all of the original parts and they're included in the auction. The truck runs cool without overheating thanks to a new water pump. The carburetor has been rebuilt, the gas tank cleaned and relined (no leaks). The old roof was mostly missing or rotted. I ordered the new solid oak frame and ribs, and new roof metal (pictured). Also included is a new roof with padding and headliner from Macs. It is black vinyl with the long-grain leather look of the original 1931. The paint is decent, it has a couple flakes and flaws. The colors are Kewanee Green and Bronson Yellow, two colors off the Ford paint chart for 1931. All of the interior insulation (similar to Dynamat) and interior skin is also included - a brown vinyl kit from Cartouche, a Mac's supplier. There are boxes and boxes of parts, probably enough to finish the truck completely unless I overlooked something. They are all from Mac's Auto and clearly labeled. All the glass is good, nothing missing, and no chips or cracks. For the side windows there are new tracks, handles, and actuators. The headlights work, and orange turn-signal bulbs are hidden inside the main lenses. The truck has been wired for brake lights and rear turn signals but they haven't been hooked up yet. The bed is solid oak, milled from a tree that fell in my neighbors yard. The rails are sitting in place and need to be bolted down with T-fasteners. I've kept a book tracking the parts I bought and have kept all instructions. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping. I won't ship, but I will work with your shipper at my end to make sure the truck gets loaded up and headed your way. The truck has a clear Michigan title. A $500.00 non-refundable deposit is due within 3 days of the auction's end or I will retain the option to re-list the truck or offer it to the next highest bidder.
