This truck, Mr. Day’s prized car-hauler, was designed to haul vintage Fords in appropriate style. It is powered by a period-correct Lincoln Y-Block V-8, a heavy-duty mill that was standard equipment on this model, and a five-speed transmission with an auxiliary two-speed rear axle, and it received a high-quality, frame-off restoration. Aside from some small blisters to the paint and light orange peel on its accessories, it remains in superb overall condition, as do its grey cloth and red vinyl-upholstered interior and its clean original dashboard gauges. The truck is outfitted with a 22-foot Champion aluminum roll-back bed, allowing it to easily haul a beautiful Ford to and from a show, as well as a Ramsey 5,000-pound winch. It rides on upgraded General tubeless radial tires.

For the Ford collector who insists on every vehicle in his collection being of the appropriate vintage and marque, this is a very tempting offering.
