37-up chev pickup cab on Model T chassis

Does anybody have pictures of this? Google turns up minimal results. I'm building up a Model T as my first big project (mainly because of price and simplicity). I like split windows, and they're relatively easy to come by where I'm from. I've seen this before on plenty of A's, but I cant recal seeing one on a T frame.

 

Sounds freaking horrible, like Ron Jeremy banging a poodle.

 

I think if you look for donor ch***is from a Crosley or Bantam, you could find an even weaker and more unsuitable frame. Gary

 

I am not following you at all? Where does the '37 Chevy and split windows come into all of this?

 

You are building a Model T??? Or just the Model T ch***is? You have a 37 Chevy with a split window?

To many contraditicions here.

And why would anyone want to put anything but a model T on a Model T ch***is?

 

I've got a pre-fabricated ch***is already set up (got it for dirt cheap from a relative), and I'd like to do something beyond the typical T bucket or coupe, and seeing as there are plenty of old pickups sitting around Southern Alberta, I figured it might look kind of interesting.

 

Basicly, I'm just trying to picture what a more modern cab would look like on a on a Model T ch***is, that's all.

 

here is my 42 chev with a zeed modal a frame

 

Nice! Love your shop truck too.

 

That truck is an absolute beauty. I don't think it that would look terrible with a T frame under it at all (although it looks just right the way it is).

 

there's a big difference between a T and A frame, you'll find the later bodies are much wider than both. everyone above is telling you not to bother, so go look for something else, I hear there's still plenty available up there.

 

Is it a aftermarket T bucket frame or a stock T frame? Mucho difference between the two!

 

Sounds like you want to do one of those shortened fenderless trucks that are ugly as sin about 95% of the time. Sell the T frame to a T guy and either use the stock pickup frame, or build a frame, or if you're hell bent on a frame swap at least use an S10 and keep the fenders so no one can see it.

 

I think he's talking about a T-bucket type frame, not an actual T frame. Yes? No?.....

 

I believe its a Speedway Motors frame. I haven't actually picked it up yet, but in reading it seems it's about 23 inches wide at the front and 25 at the back, so pretty narrow compared to an A. I'd really like to go a different direction to the usual T bucket, coupe or sedan, but I can't think of anything that would look good for cheap. Maybe I will just s**** the idea and use a 38 frame that a local guy has, only problem is the mustang II front end...

 

Nothing in hot rodding is cheap, that is the first lesson.

However much you think you have to spend triple or quadruple that and you might be close.

 

Oh I believe you. I've found the same thing with ever bike and car I've owned. Given that my skill level isn't exceptionally high yet, I full expect to have to spend money rather than do work at some point, but I'd still like to pull what I can from wrecking yards, farms and friend's collections rather than the internet.

 

So stash it until you find a T body, or clean it up and flip it and use that cash to buy what you do want. Or trade directly for what you want. I have a car here I'm ahead money on by doing that stuff right along as I gathered parts and started working on it.

 

Lol!!
