Projects My Craigslist score!! 1933 Pickup

can you please explain the differences? thanks...

 

32 firewalls bolt in and are relativley flat and recessed a little, 33-34 are welded in and bulge out a couple inches, and a 34 cab has the extra beltline on the back (3). thanks for the info larry ill look into that.

 

Yeah,it's a 33 cab and the side panels are repop. HRP

 

great score, cool little truck

 

Say whaa? Pinto reference...

 

My Brother in law has an A sport coupe that he resto rodded in the '70s with that motor. It has never been out and he still drives it, pretty regular.

That truck is pretty smooth. I think its a keeper. With or without the pinto motor.

 

That looks like the perfect little shop truck for today's world. If you can't come up with a box right away a little Flatbed would be pretty useful and look right on it.

 

So that's how the doors are supposed to fit!

 

Neat. Keep the Pinto engine, make a bed, lay on a coat of primer and use it as a shop truck/grocery getter.

 

I'm seeing something like this,in the near future!!!!! hahaha!

 

gotcha

 

looks gooood! i think it has a lot going for it i vision something like this.

 

or this or that.....

 

I did some more searching before I could check back on this thread and it looks like the guys are right the sides are repop...DAMN!! Was hoping I got lucky. The same length louvers are the give away on mine. i also thought about running fenders, i like them both ways, and it came with gl*** fronts. I had a full set at the shop that I was going to get, but when I thought the truck had sold i set the deal up with the owner and my buddy and he ended up putting the rears on his 34..double damn!!

 

I think hes refering to the gentleman who was rearended and killed a few weeks ago here in L.A. in a roadster pick up, I dont think everyone will get your pinto rear ended joke you may want to edit that post, I thought the same thing when I saw it and was instantly pissed unti I read your reply......

 

Cool truck!You need a shop truck.Here's my 33.

 

when are you going on vacation greg...i need a bed!! i was hoping to score one from a fellow hamber but it already sold. i really dont have the time to make one but will probably end up doing it. i have a spare 33 bed, but it would make the rest of the truck look like ****!

 

As I remember it, and I think the reason for the reference was that years ago Ralph Nader (or some other safety guru) said that Pintos were unsafe in a rearend collision. Something about the fuel tank rupturing and the possibility of a fireball due to its location.
I hope it wasnt meant the other way!

 

Ralph Nader ****s!!!!

The pinto motor is about as untraditional as it gets but I'd run it that way myself.Its different. My next project I currently gathering parts for is a 40 chevy pickup thats going to be channeled, chopped, z'd, shortened, unfendered and 153 chevy II 4 cyl powered with a T5. Hey gas aint cheap nowadays.

 

that's what i was thinking....

i do NOT like the fenderless look. i don't understand it...

 

Looks like a nice little truck, my pal has a 34 that I love. These are really some cool hotrods. God luck with the project. ~sololobo~

 

Man that's a nice little truck - great score!

 

Drive it.

 

nice score!

 

That looks like 50frauds old truck.....

 

Yeah, make a bed...except I didn't leave room for groceries.

 

LOL!I'll pm you my vacation schedule. If I hear of anything I'll let you know.

 

EEKs! sorry about my ill timed political reference...

News like that (deadly accident) doesnt make it to the east coast all that quickly if at all...
