Hello

Here is my newest car.

It's a Ford model Y pickup from 1935

It's missing a few parts but theres no rust what it's good.

by the way... if anyone has a grille to sell or know any place where i can get one let me know. It's a long grille not the shortest.

That's a lovely old pickup you've found there

I don't know of anyone with a grille for sale, but I'm sure that now you're in the Y & C Register one will turn up. If I see one I'll let you know.

I did have one or two dials out of the rusty saloon I had years ago, but they were pretty bad. I'll check to see if I still have them or not.

Hi Rick.

Yes i saw that picture.

Very nice pickup that one.
The gauges i already found the 3 and i'm about to receive more 2 to use the ones in better shape

I also found a set of original headlamps




From the parts that i was more worryed only the grille is missing.
I don't have seats neither windows mechanish neither door locks neither windows neither the bench seat but that ones if i don't find original i'll put something else and no one will ever know. Only the grille is worrying me for me

[Rick]

I don't think there'll be a problem finding a longrad grille (there's a short one on ebay today).

Is the bumper fitted upside down in the photo?

Small Ford Parts and Pop Parts Plus may also have something, although they may not be the cheapest places to buy from.

They are definateley some of the most expensive if you go there!

[alapimba]

well at this time i already bought some parts from small ford spares. wasn't cheap but at least were fast and as described (mainly used parts).
With new parts i'll shop a bit around and try to find the best price

By the way.. anyone knows if the door locks, windows mechanism and shock absorvers on a model Y are similar to any other car so i can search for more then model Y?

Thanks for your help

[alapimba]

got gauges!!

[alapimba]

Today i found this one in a junkyard..


It has the grille that i need and a few other bits. but it's so rotten and rusty that i thought that £260 was too much for 2 rusty door locks, 2 rusty windows lifters, rusty acellerator pedal and rotten grille..


I'm thinking in buy maybe this one.. but it also needs repairs and costs £130

[Rick]

That scrapyard looks interesting! you'll have to send me some details regarding its location sometime

What an unbelievably lucky find. It is as close as you could get to a Ford Y in model form, and as there was no factory-made pick-up ever, it is hard to understand the origins of the model. Maybe it is unique!
