The 1935 Ford Pickup introduced a major styling update, sharing its handsome, rounded looks with Ford's passenger cars. This was a departure from the more utilitarian designs of previous years, featuring a slanted grille, skirted fenders, and a V-shaped windshield. Power came from the legendary 221 cubic inch Flathead V8, producing 85 horsepower, which was a significant amount for a light truck at the time. The 1936 models were largely a carryover, with only minor cosmetic changes.
Collectors prize these trucks for their iconic pre-war design, which makes them a popular choice for both stock restorations and hot rod builds. Unlike many trucks of the era, the Ford featured an all-steel cab and bed, which made it more durable. This durability, combined with simple mechanicals, means many have survived, though finding a rust-free, unmodified example can be a challenge. The V8 engine and car-like comfort set it apart from its competition.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the primary concern. Thoroughly inspect the cab corners, floors, running boards, lower door skins, and the front of the bed where it meets the cab.
- Decide between stock or modified. An original truck has a Flathead V8 and a non-synchro 3-speed manual, while hot rods can have any combination of modern parts. Inspect the quality of fabrication and wiring on modified examples.
- Check the wood in the bed floor. Original beds used wood planks with metal strips. Replacing rotted wood and damaged hardware can be expensive and time-consuming.
- Original Flathead V8s are prone to overheating if the cooling system isn't perfectly maintained. Look for signs of past overheating and listen for knocks or ticking noises.
