 This is a totally original unmolested 1947 Ford tipper truck.

TRUCK IS UK REGISTERED AND IN USE.

The truck was bought new by South West Grain in North Dakota where it spent most of it's life hauling grain.
It came to the UK a few years ago and has remained in a private collection until now.

This truck is totally unique in this condition. The patina on this truck is hard to find and even harder to replicate.
The running gear has been refurbished so new brakes. tyres etc.
The engine is a Flathead V8 239 cubic inch with a rebuilt carb and rebuilt fuel pump. Runs strong and starts great. 4 speed gearbox with no syncro but get the double declutch right and she runs sweetly. Don't expect to be ripping the tarmac up though. Pulls well with lots of low down torque.

Interior is as was. Original heater and indicator stalk work as does the electrics and vacuum wipers. For fresh air. wind open the window or pop open the cowl scoop. Original roof lining is perfect except for a small hole. Bench seat is covered with a Mexican blanket as drivers side has a rip.

Bodywork is solid. Paintwork is worn but no rust except to a small patch of rust (50p size) at the bottom of each door. An easy repair and the only rust that there is.

The hydraulic tipper bed works perfect and the grain chute operates as it should.

This is a rare truck in the US especially in this condition. but in the UK. I am pretty sure you won't find another.

Can be left and used as is or will not take much to respray back to original red cab with black wings.

A great Company Promotion vehicle or a perfect truck for the collector.

Have taken it to a few local shows and attracted a lot of interest.

Only reason for selling is we are moving and I will be losing my storage.

May be interested in a p/x for hot rod. classic or American. Try me.

This gives you the idea of the colour scheme the truck would have originally had.
