...Or I'd've already bought a Model A pickup. And had it shipped. (Or this one, a lot more work but...)
Would anyone like to swap a vintage truck for a (long-garaged) MGB?

I used to be looking for a '37 Dodge pickup until I found one, and discovered just how small the cabs are. :/
My thing is, I need a pickup for short trips (mostly <10 mi) with awkward cargo. Might as well get something fun. Ford's Model A is one of the most widely-supported antique vehicles. Oh, if I could have anything, I might prefer a Citroen HY...but parts for those involve shipping across The Great Water, not to mention French metric fasteners.
If I had 75k lying around I'd be trying to figure out how to get a Cape Class patrol boat from Bremerton to Annapolis.
Heck of a time to be poor. That second one is only 4 hours from me. ;)
If you'd gotten the red pickup, I'd gladly volunteer to bring it to you, just for the reverse-Grapes-of-Wrath aspects of the trip.
I'm waiting for a Mahindra pickup truck to get here.
I'm shocked that there was no offer of a free Car Fax report. Seems like everybody is offering/wants one these days.
stay safe.
Shermlock-- since Mahindra is in no hurry (Dec. 2010?!?!) I gotta ask - WHY? :-$ JohninMd(help?)
Inexpensive, moderately-rugged truck. Why not?
I have .long maintained if I ever fell in with a bunch of money I would by a 1929 Model A roadster.
The Model A pickem up might be even better.
I've always had a thing for the 32 Model B with the V8. (Actually the Model 18). Of course so many have been turned into ratrods now, finding an original one may well be impossible. But the look is awesome. I often dream of living with no technology newer than 1939, and one of these trucks would fit right in.
I'm holding out for a turquoise Rolls-Royce pickup.
I believe my father in law had one as a kid in the 30's. He bought it with his newspaper delivery money when he was 14 for under $100.
His big problem was he had to back up steep hills because of the way the gasoline was fed to the engine.
That shouldn't be an issue in Hoosierland.

Og: These day, you can live like a 1938 millionaire -- everything but the servants -- on a fairly modest income. Have to forgo the luxury-liner trips to Europe, though.
You'd have to give up color TV and the microwave. Most of the other mod. cons. already existed.
"Og: These day, you can live like a 1938 millionaire"
Well, not so much with a family. Given my druthers, yes. A bit difficult to get a teenager and wife to give those things up. Also, it would help if you could buy fuel, food, medicine, and ammo at 1932 prices. My car insurance costs more than my grandfathers income in 1938
Should the day arrive when the Ogwife finally realizes what an ass I am, and hits the road for parts unknown, you will find me in a concrete cabin with a gravity fed shower and flush toilet, and few other conveninces.
Well, having nothing is nothing at all.
