It needs a motor, but that’s also what makes it a perfect candidate for a sleepy hot rod build with its patina’d exterior and a modern powerplant under the hood.
FAUX PATINA TRUCK MANUAL
This is a very similar truck, right down to the manual gearbox and stepside bed. This is actually one of my favorite trucks from the large Georgia collection we’ve listed here as a Barn Finds Exclusive. I love how the lower edge of the dash is color-keyed to the exterior.
Lettering For A 1929 Ford Truck - Cool Commercials Faux Patina Brushwork. Other options include air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes. Check out this 1929 Ford Truck that gets lettering on the door. The interior looks quite nice, and as the seller points out, the four-speed manual is rare to find – particularly in such a formation that first gear isn’t a “granny” gear and fourth gear is an actual overdrive gear, making it pleasant to use both in-town and on the interstate. I’m glad the seller resisted the urge to add a set of obscenely wide, staggered wheels. These are all easily reversible mods, but I believe they make the truck more enjoyable without ruining its wonderful survivor appearance. The seller has added some of his own touches to the truck, including a mild suspension drop, Bluetooth audio, and a Flowmaster exhaust. Find it here on eBay with bids approaching $6K and the reserve unmet. The seller notes this one is unique for its combination of the high-output V8 and 4-speed manual transmission, along with being completely rust-free.
This truck is a great example of the breed and perhaps made a touch more desirable for being the less-often-seen GMC version. While I am not necessarily a vintage truck guy, my favorite of the domestics is the short-box, stepside-bed GMC and Chevy twins from the middle 80s.
