After I bought my 1933 Ford Model BB truck, the Son of the original owner gave me this invoice. I think it's an invoice from Ford to the dealership. Interesting how Ford charged the dealers for the radio program, sales program and truck advertising program. I can make out the freight delivery charge, the dual wheels and the 32x6 10 ply tires.
Does any one know what some of the other charges are?

As found in an old barn. Yes it was a BARN FIND, and I have the proof.

Restored and back to a barn.
 
Nice looking truck and pics. I was 8 months old when that truck was sold. My late dad bought a new Ford car in 1935 and it didn't have very good brakes. He traded it in 1939 for new Ford car that hydraulic brakes. Good thing he did as cars became scarce in 1941 when WW2 started. My wife's parents bought a new 1941 Chevy car in 1941. It was the last car the dealer had. They had a 1929 Chevy car they sold for $50.00 with only 10k miles on it. I use to kid my MIL had they kept that car it would be worth $5000.00. Hal
 
I'm of that age. 1935. One friend who was a horse dr. had one he use to take us kids for ice cream. Hauled harness and horse supplies (feed& water)to where the hired help was sicklebar mowing, disc, planting. Good old servicable truck as I best remember them to be. Thanks for the memories and pictures

Great job!!

I have in my possession the original invoice from when a great-uncle of mine bought a brand new 1915 Model T Ford in 1915. The price of the car was $490, plus $35 shipping for a total of $525.

I also have the original copy of a letter he received from the Ford Motor Company advising him that if they sold 300,000 1915 Model T's every purchaser would receive a refund of from $40 to $60. I seem to recall my late father saying my great-uncle received a $50 refund.

I'll have to get these documents out, scan them, and post them.
 
Auxiliary springs is the listing directly under the dual wheels @ $10.53.

Process tax $3.59

After Dual Wheels it appears to read LO SPD which would stand for low speed, could be 10 speed but I seriously doubt it.
 
Wonder how that converts to today's dollars ?

See new Ford trucks advertised for $ 65,000.00 less all the specials $ 55,000.00 I don't know how anyone can afford one ?

Here's another "barn find". It's a '32 Ford 1/2 ton with a Mercedes 220 diesel. It is green with black fenders as well.

Nice job on your 1.5 ton Ford.
 
I think the 1934's had V8's. Clyde & Bonnie did all their bank robbing in a 1934 Ford that he stole. They said he wrote a letter to the Ford Company telling what a great car it was. Hal
 
That really helps. Thanks. Could the LP SPD have anything to do with the differential ratio. I measured it at about 6.6 to 1. That"s real low.
The auxiliary springs are there. It rides like a wagon with a top speed of 40 MPH.
 
It does have the V8 and the number stamped on the casting for the clutch matches the frame, so it's original. It's a 4 speed, but has the single speed rear end.
 
dblair,

That's an interesting dollar amount. That truck with its primitive engineering and materials could probably be reproduced for the same cost in a low tax, low wage country. Of course, it could not be imported into this country.

This would assume that the volume was enough to cover the capital costs of building the factory. But one would also have to assume, to offset that high cost, that much of the plant and equipment for such an enterprise had been in place and utilized for several decades prior.

I've have recently wondered if the economic downturn hasn't been extended by inexpensive sourcing via the internet, namely eBay. I have been buying inexpensive industrial and automotive components for 50% to 90% cheaper than from local providers. I could almost see my self building such a truck for $10,000. I actually have made perfectly reproduced fiberglass doors for the '32-'34 Ford trucks. Also have most of the cab as well. Fenders, grills, and hoods are available elsewhere.
 
A Russian co built these trucks during the second world war Some were built with Ford parts others were built with russian made parts.The V8 engine came out in late 32.The 4 cylinder lasted till 34.
