Default 1940 ford

just wondering on the old ford where the numbers are located , doesnt look like there are any plates missing on the dash.It is very complete even the seat covers are still there.
The other pics are the restore project line up around the farm .

What a stunner!

Don't often see anything as good as this even down under.

Thumbs up Nice Example

That would have to be the best unrestored cab 11 that I have seen. More pix please!

The serial number should be stamped on the side of the frame rail under the passengers door. It's the same as the number on the engine and transmission if they're original.
Somebody must have been hauling wide loads to put the mirrors out on the fenders like that.
Now we'll all be able to ask you what a cab 11 should or shouldn't have on it!! Awesome find.

Default Hope you will drag it home.....

Very good surviving example......

....do not over look the other cab 13 for parts..... even if it is a Chev.....

I would be interested to see what kind of axles are underneath that cab 11..... Ford split or GM axles.... we have a Ford at the barn that has both GM axles one with GM shocks and the front with Ford shocks on a GM axle....

..... on the Chev cab 11 the vehicle tags are on the driver's side of the engine cover...... Ford may be the same....... to my knowledge only the Ford had serial numbers stamped on the frame......

show us more pictures of the cab 11 if you can....rear ...side... inside... and underneath
