Thread: Can you help me identify this truck please

Tweet

I recently became employed at the local community college assisting my professor.
We've been kicking around the notion of building a low budget Street Rod to attract attention to our ATAP (Applied Technology Advanced Processes)program.
We've been offered this old Ford Pick Up to kick start the build.
We've unearthed it and the frame appears to be in very good condition, along with the straight axle and rear differential. The springs are another story though.

I trust you you guys inexplicably and therefore come to you for input and guidance.

So if you would, could you please give me your best shot at identifying this ride?
Also any input as to, if it is worth to try and salvage it.
We're not looking to build a Ken Thurm class beauty, just something safe and unique.

Thanks in advance,
Tom

PS. The key word here is: LOW BUDGET as funding for the build is going to be mostly contributions (read:Gary and I at this point are the only contributors).
