Has anyone Chopped 1934 Chevy Pick up

Just picked up my 1934 Chevy Pick up and would love to start the chop.I was thinking about 4inch cut in front and five in the back. Has anyone chopped 34 pick up? Post some photos if you got them.Sharpen the blades on saw ,here I come.

Thanks The Instructor

 

dont think an angle chop towards the back would look to good on that truck.

towards the front yes .

 

i think 35 is the same as 34 ???

LUKESTER's old 35 chevy truck.

 

You are right five the front and four in rear .

 

I just blew through 40' of 1x1 tubing just to build the back wall structure & both rear corners. Have another 20' stick coming in on the next steel order to be able to do the doors & cowl. I'm almost positive at this point that it will be 80' in total 1x1 tubing to complete the entire cab including the floor support.

I chopped it 4" and it's a '34 chevy. Pics are on the thread 'Pushing King Fisher Forward"

Carl Hagan and the rear structure pics are coming shortly.

 

Is the Truck an Apple Box covered with Tin like the sedans? If so make sure it's all solid so your Cab stays square and the doors hang right before you start cutting it up. Not setting the Wood on fire while welding is a Challange. I just did an all steel inner frame on A 34 2 door. What a pain! I also chopped it some.

Damn thats sweet. The doors on that look the same as my 38 chev doors. Do you know how much that was chopped?

 

5 1/2" looks good on these old trucks.....LUKESTER

 

Here is the first mock up.I freind gave me this front axle, I dont think I will use this frame ,by the time I sand blast ,box and zee I can build I new frame with a couple of sticks of 2x4 a lot cheaper

 

are you going to be runing dual V8 chevys in that frame?! thats a LONG wheelbase!

 

way to long

move the cab forward

 

I think I'm way too late, but this is mine. Today is my first day as a HAMB user.
