Projects ~~My new wheels!!!!!~~'38 Pick-up!!!

Cool truck you rule.

 

Bob truck is looking good... Call me tomorrow. I'll forget... Luck

 

Okie Dokie,Lucky....

 

Whos is that handsome devil in the coupe with ya Bob !!!
Bummer to see the coupe go but the truck is pretty darned bitchen.

 

Damn - you must change your rides more often than you change your underwear!

 

That's some homeless guy I paid to hold the grill while I drove home....
Don't know how he got back to Irwindale,hahaha!

 

I have told you to just say no when those homeless guys ask to wash your windshield.

 

But I needed the inside washed!!!!

 

Damm those are both Bitchin hot rods the truck is sikk for sure...

 

Love the truck! Congrats! I'm jealous!

 

Its a non syncro first gear, thats why. You should be able to rev-match into first.

My 42 Dodge has straight cut gears and no syncros. Double clutch it going up, rev match going down.

 

Great...thanks.

 

You both made out alright. I got a soft spot for old ford trucks, something about em. I like em more than cars. Except for 32,33,34 coupes, and sedans

 

Another HAMBer sent me about 200 pic's of '38 Ford trucks. So i'm getting all kinds of ideas. Only gone through 1/3 of them!!!

 

Bob.I like it.I always like early Ford pickups. I have a 327 and a 39 Trans maybe I'll put that in my 35 Ford pickup?

 

looking cool bob!!

 

Id lower it a bit but its a bad ass truck. That dude is gonna spray the coupe flat black tomorrow lol.

 

Congratulation!
I'm also a sucker for the barrel grill 38's
find the emblems for the hood sides look for a better tail gate.
about the first gear thing.... when you come to a stop get in the habit keeping in second gear when truck is completely stopped pull it into first that way it wont grind. if you at a stop light and its in neutral always put into second gear fist this will keep it from grinding when you put it into
first. it will just take some getting use too.......
I have a million miles on my 39 trans and personally would not trade it for a 4-5 speed trans.

PS. don't second guess the trade..... that truck kicks ASS!

 

It use to be "Back to the Beach" at the Ventura County Fairgrounds. It's next month. Just mailed in my registration.

 

Bob, just noticed the exhaust... is he running that small block with a single exhaust pipe?

 

Cool BOB! Love the new truck and the plans sound great! Give Jordan a call for your axle. He'll do a great job!

 

Jesus, you're as bad as that Groucho doode.
Beatnik Blowout=BTTB.
