fancy ford signage everywhere but on the valve covers...
My younger brother is building a ‘29 pickup that is very similar to that. He’s a machinist by trade and has commented (several times) on the challenges that this particular project has posed.
The steel stamped panels are notoriously loosey-goosey and have required significantly more tweaking to get aligned, square, and/or symmetric. It’s been driving him nutz!
For instance, the cowl (between the firewall and the windshield) holds the fuel tank on that era truck and once he warped all of the panels so that they were symmetric he couldn’t get the tank installed (it was also out of square). He had to open it up so that he could get the tank in and then warp the panels back into shape.
Several days work on something that most people aren’t likely to notice.
Wow! I love Model A pickup trucks. I wish him the best of luck! My brother had a '29 Ford Model A coupe back in the early. Wasn't in good condition. Sold it for about $700.
PS-Thank God for FR! Might loose my mind completely otherwise. Stuck here living in liberal-infected Manhattan. Rarely get to converse with normal people! (seriously)
What does it have, a Chevy? I actually haven’t watched the whole thing, at least not with the sound on. Just loved the way the truck looked.
Yep small block Chevy.
Thanks. Nice All-American combo! :)
“loose my mind”?? Lol!
Sorry, make that, LOSE my mind.
However, I do have a screw or two...loose.
Lol!
the Siamese center cylinders are the giveaway
