1937 Ford truck Abandoned for over 35 years! Will it Run?!? Flathead V8 engine!!

1937 Ford
1980sBarn Findyoutube

I picked up this 1937 Ford truck in trade late last fall. The previous owner never did anything with it and it came from the Iron Range up in northern MN. Story was that the guy used it for many years but judging by the Gambles 6 volt battery still attached to the cables it has been sitting since before the mid 1980s. Lets see if we can get this old girl running once again! And then maybe convert it into something a little bit more usable! If you're interested in the pickup conversion it has already been sold...
