Found locally. Owner says that it has a later flathead V-8 and it came from Aberdeen.

Re: 1934 Ford with USA #
That's a nice find. The wooden stringers on the back suggest it was a wooden cargo body or flatbed.
The only thing that looks odd is that there are a lot of digits in that USA number for a '34. I'd expect just a five digit number on a '34 unless it had a special purpose prefix like ' 00 '

Very nice find! Will look great when finished up, love the old Fords and their V8s. Will you post some more pictures, please? Thanks, Steve K.

Re: 1934 Ford with USA #
Actually, it's yard art belonging to a guy I know. If somebody needs it, it possibly could be for sale but I'd have to ask him. As far as USA #, it may have been a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) truck taken back into Army Service. I have seen higher USA #'s on those that were originally CCC trucks which went back to the Army before WWII.
