1933 ford truck project

I started on my 33 ,and thought I would post the pics. I know it's not what most folks on here would like but I wanted this one with the fender on it. Being built along the lines of my uncles 34. I boxed the frame with 3/16 and went with a pete and jakes four inch dropped axle, it'll have a nine inch ford rear. I posted more of the frame pics first but they didn't show up for some reason. Maybe some will like it as I know I like looking at all the builds of the 32=34 trucks

 

nice start on your project-no need to apologize

 

glad to see you posting your build if its 32-34 ford pu im all in.
thanks for posting i will be following your build.

 

Awesome! I like fenders

 

yup fenders are cool ! keep us posted..

 

Happy to see you going full fendered. I personally think a truck looks dumb without the fenders so I may be in the minority also. Thats ok though, we all like what we like.

 

I like the fenders also. Cant wait to see more.

 

More truck pics, I cant figure out to put the pics on here in order.I started on the frame first and it still aint finished. It's easier to build the truck than for me to figure out how to use a computer. What seats will fit in this truck, I have some buckets but they are to tall and will block the rear window. Also I MAY CHOP THE TOP BUT FIGHT NOW i WOULD juST LIKE to get it running

 

maybe check out 80's Chevy S10 PU bucket & bench, also earlier sports cars or 60's cars
for seats

cool truck,One more for the fenders

 

Sorry I sold my '34, but you can't build them all. I'll be watching your build.. Maybe that will soothe the loss of mine. Oh yea, the fenders are a "must have".

I need to find fenders for my parts pile

 

more pics, bed mocked up and the new rear frame rails I built so that I could move the rails in for the wider tires(12 inch)

 

more truck pics, the center part of the rear crossmember will be cut out after the new rails are positioned and welded up. I cut the bed floor out for the wheel tubs, they will be about 3 inches wide, I hated to cut this bed because it was in such good shape but thats the way it had to be.

 

don't you dare paint that thing...it looks great as is.

 

the rear frame sections I cut out and welded up

 

Looks Good!

 

yeah no paint for me, my wife likes it the way it is, probably just so I won't spend the money. This isn't the cab and bed I was gong to use. I have a cab that is in alot better shape but the more I play with this thing I really like it.

 

Looking really cool so far. What do you have planned for the motor and trans?

 

rear frame section that I cut out

 

Right now it will have a small block chevy and a turbo 350 because thats what I got plenty of. Later I would like an old hemi or flat head and four speed. I'm just trying to get this thing drivable so I can drive it. No more garage sitters for me.

 

Nothing wrong with fenders. Wish my sheetmetal was that nice!

I like fenders too.........

 

Please dont chop it!

 

what lenght steering column works well in these trucks, I was wanting one with tilt, and also turn signals. The ones built into the column or the old school type that mount to the column?

 

most any mini van third seat will fit in these old trucks plus they are pretty comfortable tom
