I have never seen any that really add to a old truck A few with say a shop or business name were O K but I never felt they made the truck look better . I was thinking about something low for my 28 A maybe not wood but maybe painted smooth steel with some hand painted lettering
Hello, I was drawing several different 36 Ford trucks from old pickups with side mount tires and those without. A couple had chopped tops and others not. It was a nice styling in stock form, but not the most popular of trucks. But, art is where we can change things to see what is what. Aa “free range” design gives plenty of options for the finished look. I put on a 671 supercharger sticking out of the hood, but it was too much. 1936 Ford Truck… two wide oak slats with polyurethane coating two narrow oak slats with polyurethane coating three narrow oak slats with polyurethane coating The design parameters for all designs in all sorts of things is the “concept of three.” One is ok, but something is left out. two is also ok, but is still lacking. So, the concept of three fills in all of the design gaps. The slats can be narrow or wider to fit the space available, without over powering the truck like wide one piece panels, even with lettering. Jnaki But, to go one step beyond, the cab of the 36 looks too boxy after I drew it. it could be my eyesight. But after modifying the above three trucks, it needed something else. So, now the top of the cab has a slightly lower line and it makes the overall outline much better for a smooth flow of the overall pattern. Of course, it had to have a slight rake to give it some added attitude… Plus, of course, a factory certified, GM SBC crate motor, with a Paxton style supercharger for added power. YRMV raked, shaved top front roof line and two wide bed rails.
If you’re talking to me , I rebuilt the 3ne57 hemi, it’s running on the engine stand , I broke the cam in, now, looking for something to put it in
