1934 Ford Truck, This old Ford has spent more time in storage that on the road. As a result it is in considerably better condition than most unrestored old trucks you will find, it is on the big truck chassis, but all the body parts with the exception of the running boards are the same as a pick-up truck. The body with the exception of the door bottoms is in very good condition. Somehow this truck survived the years without getting all beat up and rusted. The rust in the bottom of the doors resulted from mouse nests in the doors while it was in storage. The doors at present have factory made 7" patch panels temporaly pop riveted in place, fine for a rat rod, but additional work would be required for a good restoration, or better quality rod. There are now door skins available that go all the way up to the body line in the door.  I was told complete door skins are also available, but I have not been able to confirm that.  The front fenders have no rust holes or rips, and very few dents. The running boards are like NOS. The hood and grill shell still have most of there original paint. The radiator, seat and some trim are missing. I do have the stainless trim for around the grill. The truck is otherwise amazingly complete including all 4 hub caps and the spare tire holder hardware. The engine and transmission are in the truck and look to be original and complete. The wheels are in good condition but the tires are old and dry. The windshield is cracked, but the other glass is OK. The top of the hood has a dent, the cab is very straight. In my opinion this truck would be a great start for a restoration or neat rod. The steel is a whole lot better as is than many "Rat Rods" I have seen. I do not have a title for this truck, E-Bay required the field to be filled in. I have register many old cars and trucks over the years that had no paper work, it can be frustrating, but not really that hard to do. I am including a picture of my 32 Ford Truck Rod, I found the 32 a Hershey and it was closer to completion than the 34. They are about the some body and buying the 32 is the reason I have decided to offer the 34 for sale. Ask  questions or make an appointment to see the truck, McLean is between Cortland and Ithaca in central NY.

I had trouble loading pictures, I will try to add more later.
I took new pictures today and have added them to the listing, They show pin holes on inside of door bottoms,and PA license plate covering larger hole. There is one 1/4 inch tear in the drivers side fender near the mounting bolt, no rips in the bead. Picture of back of cab shows stress cracks where cab bottom has rested on the frame after the wood in the  cab mounts got soft.  The louvers in the hood sides are in good shape.Hope this helps.
