The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

I recently purchased a titled 1936 truck. I has a split windshield and therefore I was informed that the truck is a 1937 model. However, the grille and radiator are original Henry 1936 parts. Any chance the factory put the truck together this way? All the hardware was fitted correctly. Anybody ever see something like this happen?

I do not think that the factory did this. Somewhere between 1936 and present someone made some changes. If you will post the frame number (leave off the last two digits), we can tell you for sure what year the pickup is. The frame number is on the top left close to the steering gear.

The serial number that you provided falls in the range of the 1938 serial numbers. Is this the number from the frame, transmission or the title?

Here is a link to a site that has the Ford serial numbers.

Tom,
The serial number is frame and title. Can you break down that number for more clairification?

I'm going to speculate that it is a 38, and the same craftsman who fabricated the new pickup
bed thought the 36 grille was better looking than the 38. I do wonder where the giant V8
on the hood side came from. Some interior photos of the instruments (if original) might help
date the cab.

After looking again, I noticed the hood is a 37, hence the giant V8.

Bob, the serial number is just that. Ford started the V-8 serial numbers at 18-001 in 1932 and continued the sequence until 1946 when the 221 cu in engine was discontinued in the USA.

This link takes you to a site that breaks down the serial numbers into the year of manufacture.

I Think it is a 37 PICK-UP,because the moulding on the cowl and doors match up, 38 and 39 are different,
the windshield would fit either 37 or 38 and 39 are all the same,
someone installed a 36 NOSE on it,
it hard to tell with out more pictures,there are more difference on the inside,
my 3 cents worth, 37RAGTOPMAN an KEEP on FORDIN!!!!
and if the numbers are from 1938, they used a later frame and running gear,
