1939 Ford Half-Ton Pickup 1937-1939

This 1939 Ford is a half-ton pickup which was refurbished in a black and orange Harley-Davidson color scheme under previous ownership. Power comes from a 221ci flathead V8 modified with finned aluminum Offenhauser heads and a 3×2 carburetor setup, and other equipment includes a three-speed manual transmission, off-white vinyl upholstery, a period Motorola tube radio, a repurposed oak bed, and more. The truck was acquired by the seller as an unfinished project less than a year ago and is now offered with a clean Utah title in the seller’s name. The truck was refinished in Harley-Davidson black with pearl orange fenders under previous ownership, and the bed floor is made from oak slats repurposed from a vintage semi trailer. The halogen headlights have been modified to house LED turn signals, and driving lamps are fitted to the front bumper. Pitting on the chrome hood ornament and cracking on the fuel filler rubber gasket is shown in the gallery. Black-painted Wide Five steel wheels wear chrome trim rings and dog-dish hubcaps, and are mounted with Dunlop SP Qualifier steel-belted tires. A spare tire is mounted to the passenger-side running board. Off-white marine vinyl covers the bench seat, door and side panels, and headliner, while gray industrial carpeting protects the floors. The black steel dashboard houses factory gauges including a five-digit odometer showing approximately 8,200 miles, with actual mileage unknown. Modifications include an inoperable period Motorola tube radio with a speaker, an electric fan, an auxiliary coolant temperature gauge, and an 8-ball gear knob. The 221ci flathead V8 is paired with a three-speed manual transmission and has been modified with following under current ownership: Finned aluminum Offenhauser cylinder heads Three 9 Super 7 two-barrel carburetors with Munro gasser-style horns Offenhauser triple-deuce intake Speedway Motors progressive throttle linkage Thickstun oil breather Custom stainless exhaust with dual Harley-Davidson-style tips Several components have been powder coated in copper to match the custom copper tubes attaching to the brass radiator. The electrical system was converted from six to 12 volts with an alternator under previous ownership, and an electric fuel pump has been fitted. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
