Very good condition, especially for a '32 pickup. Paint is probably a twenty-footer - I think it was "restored" in the US in the mid-'90s, so the sheetmetal was rubbed down and resprayed, luckily it would appear without covering the whole thing in 1/4" of bondo or pop-riveted patches (I don't think there are any patches on it at all).
Has original rod brakes, 4-cylinder Model B engine and gearbox/torque tube/axle combo and 6V wiring. Heavy front axle. Rare original 25-louvre hood. Rare aftermarket K-H steel wheels designed for early wire-wheel hubs (no spacers required) with barely-used 6.00 and 7.50-16 Firestones (7.00s and 5.50s also available). These wheels take '40s Lincoln hubcaps, as in the photo. Rear bed has been shortened, not brilliantly.
Registered, taxed, MOT-exempt (I'd happily MOT it if wanted).
Asking £16,500 for a nice old truck that can be enjoyed as is, or easily hopped up. Or an excellent base for a full resto / hot rod build, without replacing half the sheetmetal - some work would be needed, but not bad at all.
Lots of options available like 16", 17" or 18" wires (or '40 Ford steels). Spare 4-bangers for rebuild (plus some speed parts - Thomas head, down-draft intake w/97), or pump-in-head V8 and gearbox, V8 axles and other stuff if that would be in anyone's plans. Even an SBC to early Ford gearbox adapter if needed.
Thanks, Andy

Some more photos:
PS Just realised that's an old pic of the interior - that 'nice' orange carpet has gone

Well, I've been asked for more photos, so here's some:
This is the worst of the bodywork, with a bit of rust-through behind the passenger door:
The doors actually have their original return flanges at the bottom, unusual for these.
The interior without that lovely carpet:
And like I said before, lots of options available - cheaper without the disc wheels and tyres, or with a stock original '32 (unpainted) hood instead of the 25-louvre one, for instance.
