1930 Ford Truck

01

Artifact Overview

Rugged 1 1/2-ton trucks like this could be found throughout rural America in the 1930s. Farmers often bought just the Ford Model AA truck chassis itself, and then either purchased a body from a custom builder or made one themselves. The stake body on this truck was especially versatile. The racks were removable to ease loading or accommodate oversized cargo.
