![]() ![]() They forced me to put in a mileage but I have NO IDEA what the actual mileage is. Our great selection of quality and affordable name brand maintenance and repair parts will help you get the best performance from your 1942 Ford 1/2 Ton Pickup. The truck will cruise all day at 60-65 MPH with no strain. I have been told that the Mercury overdrives from 19 fit the older flathead engines. The truck has hadan overdrive transmission installed. The open drive shaft made possible a modification that I love. Clutch chatters, an old Ford tradition.If you are not familiar with 1942 pickups, this was the first year for conventional 4 spring suspension and open drive shaft that the cars did not get until 1949. I installed an old trunk in the box because we used to occasionally take overnight trips and needed a place for luggage. Hard to imagine a truck this old with no dents in the box. The body work and paint are strictly amateur.I suspect that whoever fixed it up bought a whole new box and tail gate. No rust has appeared in the body so apparently it was a pretty solid truck to start with. I have owned this truck for 15 years and it still looks the same as when I bought it. I am 87 years old and it is time to get rid of some of my toys. ![]()
