I'm new here and am having trouble getting around this website, particularly posting a new thread. At any rate, my dad died 8/9/2010 while restoring his 1942 Ford 1 1/2 truck. I am trying to get an idea of what it actually is. It's a V8 flathead, 100 hp, model FORDCO, registered # F1631, American LaFrance, Foamite Corp, nomenclature - fire apparatus, date of delivery 8/42, 158" wheelbase. It's in beautiful shape, and was running perfectly before he died, but it's not fully put together. It seems we have most of the parts, but what a mess! Since I can't identify it, it's almost impossible to put a value on it. I have to settle the estate and I have people interested in it...HELP, anyone! I think it's a 298T but trying to get a ballpark value is almost impossible.
