Character, pedigree, heritage, vintage, heirloom. Words like these come to mind in the presence of a fine antique vehicle of this caliber. It may even elicit an emotional response. This 1934 Ford Flatbed may bring back memories, or simply attract admiration for the loving way that it was restored and preserved. Ford’s Flathead V8, introduced only a couple years earlier, was one of the carmaker’s greatest achievements. It would go on to become a staple of hot rodding and remains so today. No less a purveyor of performance than Big Daddy Don Garlits has a collection of Flatheads. This one is in its original configuration and drives a four-speed manual transmission. Driving this beauty from the correct bench seat is surprisingly comfortable. And you’ll be proud to be there. The truck looks superb with its red and black paint and black interior. It’s the result of many hours of painstaking craftsmanship. The body was removed from the chassis and stripped to bare metal. Then PPG base coat/clear coat paint was carefully applied to provide a smooth finish with lots of shine. The bed is beautiful red oak, and new glass completes the fresh look. The original type 6-volt electric system remains intact with fresh, new wiring. She starts and runs with aplomb. This truck undoubtedly worked hard in its day. Now it’s ready to be shown, driven, coddled, and enjoyed.
