PICS wanted - Hotrodded not "bobbers" 35-39 Ford Pickups

Hey guys,

Im closing a deal on a totally complete really nice 36 Ford pickup. Needs complete restoration. I want to make a hotrod out of it without loosing much, if none, of it's original beauty.Maybe just a chop.
Im looking for some inspiration :

If possible, no "Bobbers" please, just rodded, mild custom, original proportions trucks.

Thanks
Diego

 

c'mon..., wanna see some nice trucks.

 

Hey !!! just "bobbers" around here ? I agree with a lot of hambers..., I dont like that word at all...

 

Heres mine. it is a real deal survivor. 260 poly motor, 49 merc rearend, and 40 for frontend. raced in the 60s.

 

Thats pure beauty Jim....., thats what I meant.
Honestly....., isnt this example much better, elegant and still a kickass rod than a "bobber" ?
BTW: Anyone can tell why those style "trucks" are called like that ?

 

I would love to see what these pickups look like withought being your run-of-the-mill 'bobber'

arent stripped dpwn, bare bones bikes called bobbers? maybe they just called stripped down pickups that as well

 

Come on you guys post those pic's, add some chevys same year full fendered.

 

'37's are my pick.

 

Skippy, you nailed it! That is sweeeet!!!-MIKE

 

Like Lost Angel said you nailed it........Great looking truck

 

Not mine, I just saved the photo because I think it kicks ass.

 

Don't remember where I got these pics?

It has a 4 inch chop!!

41 Packard Grill

 

This is it...., glorious......, wonder who owns it.

 

Here's one

 

Saw that truck parked at a tattoo shop in Lancaster, CA not too long ago. Really good looking truck, sits just right, and that grille really makes it.

 

This picture was on here as well. Neat looking truck.

 

The truck is owned by John Robinson of Long Beach, CA. Full build info on the last pages of the #37 issue of The Rodders Journal.

Cheers, Mark

 

That truck just has it all right. Stance wheel and tire combo, paint. It's textbook on style!!!-MIKE

 

Ya.....the green truck should look right......that's Fat Jack Robinson's kid. Good hot rod upbringing!.

Anyone know if the dims on a 1 ton cab & fenders are different that a 1/2 ton models......1934-36 aside from the running board lenght.....

Paco

 

No wonder why the green 37 looks good. Fat Jacks stuff was
always bitch'n

 

There must to be more ....

 

Here's a 38

 

Cant tell whats under that body but its baaaddd
Awesome

 

I think I like it better unchopped...., anyway good taste again.

Honestly, bobbers lovers....., save your money and get yourself
something to be proud of.

 

As seen at Billetproof several times, this is one sweet 37. Here's a picture from today's Revolution II:

 

hope your new find is in better shape than what I started with two years ago...

 

Hey George,

A little better yeah, only theres a front fender gone..., I guess Im gonna end up buiding a new one from scratch.Yours wasnt that bad, Ive seen much much worst things honestly.
Do you have any progress pics ? how does it look now ?

D.

 

it went a more radical route than you are planning. see the avitar picture? here are shots during the chop and the shortening of the bed. front axle is "spring over axle" not the stock "spring forward". rear axle was also relocated forward and the chassis was bobbed.

 

Yes, I saw the avatar but wasnt sure if that was your car or your want to be....
Kind of Bobber but really well done, I really like it.
Man that thing is channeled...., look at those horns at the front

Thanks George
