Projects Chopped 37 ford truck on stock chassis.

Neat...what happened to it?

 

Sold within two months. no idea after that.

 

I think this is either a 36 or 37 could be wrong.

 

Your wrong, as far as the body goes it's a 1935 body and a 1935 radiator shell

 

I stand corrected!

 

this is a 37 ford pick up
there is a noticable peak in the middle above the screen for the split window
there is more steel between the lower screen rfame and the top of the scuttle
the scuttles are different - -so are the vents and the dash
and the top dash panel


1936 ford pickups have much less sheet metal between the lower part of the wind screen frame and the scuttle area, they do not have the upper central peak at the roof for the split window frame, as it isnt flat - -its in a slight 'v'
also the stamping of the firewalls are different 36 and 37
37 has a factory battery box on the p***enger side

 

I believe if you channel the cab over the frame similar to the way it sits now it would look pretty good.as a hi boy, please don't use a '32 radiator shell. HRP

your 37 ch***is , is within the last 10,000 1937 fords made in 1937 of the genus 85hp
its deffo a pickup frame
I would delets the pic of the ID
just for my interest, does it happen to have a 'H' or capital 'I' stamped into the rear crossmeber

 

This has always been a favorite of mine

 

Here’s another

 

This looks bad ***!

 

I need to come up with a plan for suspension.
What to keep and what to sell from both frames. Mostly to gain the room that the new frame Is taking in the side yard.

I know I'm keeping the dropped axle and it would be smart to keep the 9".
I want to get rid of the disc brakes so I'd keep the front wide 5 brakes and convert them to juice brakes,
Keep the stock gas tank since its new, idk what else to use off the stock frame..
Now I'm thinking I should've just bought a running flathead instead of a whole running gear with mech brakes.

 

9" with wide 5 adapters vs 1940 banjo closed driveline with 37 wide 5 drums??
Or 9" with wide 5 adapters vs 1937 closed drive line with 40' backing plates and Wide 5 drums?

 

9” with open drive line and wide 5 adapters.
I’ve had my share of original drive shaft and rear end problems to last a lifetime.
Does that flathead run?

 

The seller said it does. I didn't realize the 37s had mechanical brakes..
But I'm glad I bought the entire running gear..the frame from the og project needs a bit of work..

 

You build Kool stuff . So build what pleases your eyes . I’d left the mag fired 4 banger in it just to mess with people lol

 

Saw this running around Wendover the last couple days

 

If it was running I would.

That's cool..not the look I'm going for tho..
I put the cab and bed onto the complete frame and I took the OG frame completely apart to gain more room.

 

So the flathead WANTED to run
.it fired up just couldn't keep running.
There was a point where it backfired and the carb had a small fire but the empty quart of steering fluid-now-filled-with-gasoline also had a fire..
I was able to chill,put the quart down,choke the fire with the rag,keep an eye on the carb and see that the fire went off by itself..

Pretty scary..
I need to get someone that knows flatheads here...please anyone..
