traditional model a pickup pics

I am begininng a 1931 model a pickup build. I need some help with ideas on ways to go with it I plan to go steelies and flathead power could you guys help me out with some pics of TRADITIONAL model a pick ups or just ideas would be great.

 

...how's this one?...runnin a hop'd up B 4 cyl.

 

Only '30-'31 A pick-up I could find in my stash. (I think? I struggle with identifying differences between '30-'31 and '32-'34)



These are '32-'34 but the bodies are very similar so you could steal a couple ideas from these.






This might be an earlier A but this is a good example to not rule out fenders. (black pick-up above as well)

WOW, timing is perfect on this thread. I just bought a Model AA earlier today, a Model A pickup box, and an unknown front axle with the super wide 5 bolt pattern and mechanical brakes. I plan on using the cab from the AA, the A box, and a '30 A grill and head lights. I have a great Model A drivetrain to put in there for now, but also just happened upon a chevy 265 V8 with a Powerglide. I want this to be a build right out of the '50s.

Going to pickup the truck this weekend.

This thing is the cat's ass! Perhaps the finest '32 pickup ever in my humble opinion.

 

I built this '29 a couple years ago with a 59ab flathead, '39 trans, banjo rear end, steelies, bias ply tires.

 

Hers mine ,three inch chop & runnlng a flathead.

 

Those '32s are beautiful!. I'm really digging the No chop on some of 'em. '30-'31s are cooler tho... I have most everything for my '31 truck. Just need more room in garage. Mike

 

thanks for the help guys I plan on going full fendered and hopefully un chopped un channeled but we will see. I really like dago speed shops truck that is the way I was thinking anymore info or pics on that truck..like suspension and tire sizes

 

I'm kinda new to the site, so I try to keep quiet and learn.

But, I think Lucky Burton's - Old Crow Speed Shop- shop truck is one of the best I've ever seen as far as proportions and Traditional hot rod look.

I wish I could have purchased it when available.

jmho - YMMV

 

You didn't say - Closed cab or RPU?

 

I think it would be cool to channel the cab down so you lose the panel in between the cab and running boards. East coast style. I don't know if anyone's done this just like I described but there's a red closed cab that's been sectioned, chopped. And runs fenders too. I don't know where I'd find a picture of it but that would be cool.

X2. RPU or closed cab?

a couple of 32's that are pretty cool..luckys A PU is one of my favorites..

 

My '30, 4" dropped front, spring behind on rear, 6:70-15 front, 8:20-15 rear

 

Before pic.

 

And inspiration for the finished product, Jim “Jake” Jacobs truck. But with 40 Ford steelies.

 

Hey thanks for the compliments guys, it still means alot! Lucky

 

Heres a couple pics Ive had saved for a while.

 

My 30 pickup. I added 4 inches in the middle of the doors, so wheelbase is 4 inches longer than stock also. Not totally traditional, but I'm working on it.

 

I am building a closed cab, but I still need to find a cab . my search is slow anyone got one. and lucky I saw your pickup in HRD I think it looks awsome to I was glad you put a flathead in it. If you got a ford put a ford in it. thanks again

 

These photo's won't win any awards but they are photo's of my old 30 Model A I built in the late 70's. HRP
