    I think it's pretty cool, but I can tell you that it's got to have one hell of a blind spot on the drivers side just behind the driver, that entire side is out of view and he can only see it by leaning forward and peering out the door. My 30 has enough of a blind spot, and it's not anything close to that one.

    It would be nice to find somebody who knew more about this car and its build history.

    Just because it's an oddball or one of a kind doesn't add value in this case. End of the day it's still just a model a. I wouldn't pay more than $5,000 For it.

    That blind spot isn't much different than the one in a stock '40 Ford pic up.

    I like it. It's a neat little machine. I don't think its uniqueness makes it any more valuable, that might even detract from the value.

    Attractive to a small number of folks who may appreciate it.
    I appreciate the work that has gone into it, but it ain't my cup of tea.
    It is practical driveable vehicle for the right person and probably half way on its way to becoming a basic hot rod.
    I guess you only need 1 interested buyer with money to make the sale...

    It's neat, but if I was offered a choice between an identical build with a coupe body, one with a stock closed cab truck body, and this one, this one would still be my last choice. My guess is it would sell for a little less than a comparable coupe or closed cab PU.

    I like it! I would give more than 5 for it any day.

    There are lots of 21" and 19" Model A wheels cut down to 16" that were done many years ago when about all you could find were 16" tires. Wheel shops did them too.

    Dave, a lot of us did a lot of "things "
    THEN the dreaded word " garage keepers liability " got into the act..

    Shut down many of us "providers".
    I am afraid to weld my own tie rod now..

  12. In WWII when gas was rationed a truck got a better ration than a car. So you saw a lot of cars turned into trucks.

    I had a 30-31 sedan that they just cut the back off and tossed it for a stock A pickup bed. If it ever had a cab back that must have been wood, because it was long long gone when I got the car. Used the bed on an actual pickup, but later I found the back half of a tudor in a farm dump and put that on the cutoff car.
