History Hot Rod truck thread!

hoping to buy this '27 this spring

 

It's to set the timing.

 

I built a model of the black widow as a kid mine had a 413 with the cross ram

 

LOL. Needs a thermometer on the other side.

 

My thoughts on this truck, First, it's cool as ****, and I'd love to have it. That being said, I'd say it's a fairgrounds cruiser. How drivable is it? My local burger joint, cruise in spot is 6 miles away from my house, I would have to run 45 plus mph for about half that distance, could it do it? I would hope so. Is that a Ford motor? Distributor is in the front. Radiator is probably in the bed, that would mean a 3 mile trip to the hardware store is out if I buy something to big to fit in the cab. No front brakes, I would really have to watch for the old boys pulling out of the golf course in front of me. I've drove T Buckets with no front brakes, and they stop fine unless it's a panic situation. What's everyones thoughts on it?

 

Yeah no radiator in the grille probably a trailer queen but it's got a high cool factor ,but may not be as user friendly

 

I probably shoulda kept that one but she helped pay for my new knees.

 

Wow, it is a beautiful truck. Knees are handy too though.

 

Thanx , it had a '68 327 ,60 over ,202 heads 375 hp cam ,turbo 400 dropped front and Dodge discs gl*** fenders original body and bed,bought for 22k drove it 5 years and sold for same. It flew ,308 from a granada rear

In case of a flat, it's best to have a spare.

This looks like an old Lindberg model kit I built as a kid in the late 60's early 70's.
