Got the steering column/box ***embly out tonight, got the rear suspension loose from the frame and started disconnecting the trans from the torque tube to get the motor out. Body should be welded up a few days after Christmas! Pics and more comin!

Nice project.

 

Nice project.
Where are you in Louisiana?

 

Hey David, Im in Marrero. Just off the Westbank Expressway, where you at???

 

I had a box for my rpu come from them, was very nice in my opinion, but they are slower than hell freezing over.

 

Anymore pictures of this interesting car.

Do a search under "members" for "Dodgerodder". That was a Model A four-door cut down to a roadster pickup. He does great work.

 

Got my motor out tonight!!!!!!!!!!!! All my suspension is coming out tomorrow. Im makin pretty good headway for workin alone hahaha.
Ill keep yall posted.

 

Finally got her down to her bare frame...now I really gotta decide on how I want this thing to look.........

 

Great looking pu!! What are the wheels/tires? What are the sizes of frt/rear wheels and tires? Thanks

 

Keep up the good work---model A sedans make pretty slick roadster pickups---Brian

 

You're making great progress. Keep going and you'll be driving in no time - at least that's what I keep telling myself...

 

that thing is so cool. I love pickups I have a 32 ford pickup that I want to build. you did a great job on that truck. yellow is one of my fav color. it looks sweet. dose it run as good as it looks?

 

yo your truck is cool I love the luver un the bed its different

 

very cool start. the mod i'm workin on started as a 2d that the roof had been whacked off of

 

The rears are 16x6 with Firestone 7.50/16's, and the fronts are 16x4 with 6.00/16's

Its been a LONG time since an update but here it is. Im picking up my new motor tomorrow, a '56 272 Y-Block with a 4 speed behind it.

Thanks

 

Nice work so far. Was always interested in building one like that but never really knew how to begin. Keep the pics coming!

 

looks killer!

 

Redid my frame kickup, it was too knarly haha. Took it back down to about 4" of a kickup in the front, stance is gonna look way better, and doesnt look quite so "broken."



Also got some bearings together and got my front into roller status. Im calling around tomorrow to locate a rear end. Need somethin with 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern..



Thanks

this is what i was thinking of doing next. keep the updates coming.

 

good updates! roadster pickups is what lured me into like hotrods in the beginning, and i still have a p***ion for them

 

Have to agree with your opinion of stance and the get in it and drive ability

What happened to the corvette motor?

 

Its for sale, 100 bucks to get it outta my garage. I decided to go in a different route.

Thanks everyone!

 

What motor are you selling?
