29 Ford Four Door Cut Up for a Truck Project

awesome! glad to hear you are all better, looking forward to your updates!

 

is there a way that you can show a straight on side profile? In these pics it looks like the back half of the roof is gonna look a little "droopy". It seems like it would have looked better if you had cut the back half of the roof off right above the quarter window, then down behind it, and across the back and raised it up and then filled it in, if you know what I mean. But maybe I'm just seeing it wrong in the pics.

 

I know what you are saying but It's hard to see it all sitting up on the table so high in the air. I plan to get it off the table this next week and get it to ride height. Then make some changes if needed.

Thanks Man,
Sticks

 

Hey Cool! I have a "Briggs" Pick up too. I'll post some pics later. Good job so far.

 

Thanks Man, would like to see some pic of your at some time.

Here it is. Project stalled a little until my coupe is done, but plans call for another 2" chop and a swept frame. The filler piece in the roof is out of an early 90's honda.

 

Very nice work. What did you use for the back of the cab?

Just so there's no confusion, I didn't build it. I bought it as a running truck. The guy I bought it from did a fantastic job of turning a bunch of random panels into a truck cab. I like it cause there is a tiny bit more leg room. Unfortunately the good fabwork ended at the body, I had to throw the frame out, and sell the rest. The back of the cab came from a 30 pickup, the doors, I'm not so sure. Throws people off though...

 

Very cool man, i dig the way it looks.
thanks for all the info

Sticks, update pics????

 

don`t be scared cut that thing up ! haha ...
nice work !
that quarter window is throwing it off ? might need a slice down the back to open it up at the bottom ?

 

can't wait to see how this turns out. more pics pls

 

I've busy with the holidays etc., but I will be starting work again in a week, at that point I will get some new pic's posted.

Thanks

Got some new stuff here. I've been working on it for some time now off and on this winter. I'm getting close to taking it apart to finish up weld on the frame etc.

 

The truck looks good close to how i cut up my fordoor.

 

Thanks man. Nice job on our truck.

Looks like you made some good progress, Sticks!

Keep up the good work.

 

Thanks bro. I'm having fun building it.

 

Here's one I'm putting together. Bought a 2 door sedan front half and a PU rear, '29 2 dr quarters I had at the shop. Had an AA frame so I used it as this is going to be my shop truck and will support the bed fully and can run a trailer hitch, will run full fendered and a full bed. Think I want to move the rear wheels back a little from the stock position. '35 wire wheels, undecided if will run the MB 4 cly diesel or an old 283 I got??? Joe.







Little bit of photoshop paint.

 

lookin great, my 29 started out as a open rear pick up build and i put the puzzle back together to get my sedan

 

Nice work here, I like it.

I sold something like that a few years ago to Jim Sibley, maybe he can post some pics or info. of that project if anything has ever been done to it??

 

Not looking for notes from anybody. I build what I build like it or not.

Thanks
Sticks

I'm not a big fan of the spun disks, and you sould maybe take some notes from Moon.

 

Well... I like it.
