What a coincidence, so do I.

Do you want pickups, or roadster pickups?

 

Fendered unchopped 29 pick up. Been collecting parts for it a few years now.

 

Pickups please. Thx guys.

 

Here's mine. 6" chop. Bed shortened 9", deuce frame pinched.

 

Hey, me too. Almost done with the chassis, have all the parts, and then the divorce...... it's all in my trailer.....on hold.

 

Dad and I am building a 29 ford pickup. Here is the car and what it might look like.

 

Get some GREAT ideas guys thanks !!

 

man, that thing is perfect!

 

I am also planning on building one,'31. But kinda lost on my direction. Pickup. I really like what 31pickemup has going on for his build. Mike

 

Mike
Just a heads up to anyone building one of these. Take into account that these trucks are extremely small. I.m 5'.7" and with a 6" chop its tight. A lot of people want to chop and channel these but there's only so much you can achieve with such a small palet.

 

I thought they were too tight completely stock uncut sitting in one with the upper seat just bare springs.

 

There you go, this is what I have got so far...

 

This one is a converted sedan... but you all know that. It IS a neat old piece but not a "real" pickup cab.

 

I to am building one. It was set up for fenders before when I was building it for a customer. he pretty much gave up on it now. So I made a deal. So far I have a few good parts, but what I really need to see are some fraem/suspension pictures. Anyone got those?

 

I hear ya. I'm 6'1, 200lbs. So i'll have to be a little careful on the chop, etc. Mike

 

bad pic of one 1 have 30/31 on 32 rails

 

Mine is now finished so can't say building one ..

 

my 30/31 pu

 

Here is mine. Not quite done but on the road.

 

Here is one Im building. It will be the first one Ive done and I need alot of help!

 

this is a nice looking truck, do you have any pics of it being built? does the top come off?

 

Some nice cars here. I put this one together on the HAMB over the years. I built new throttle linkage for it this week. Does that count? I hear you about the tiny cockpit in these things, good incentive to moderate your beer drinking.

 

Mine's a '29AA. I'm putting in a 351 Windsor with an AOD. The rear axle, spindles, brakes and wheels are from a '60 F-350 tow truck, and I've set up the rear to use the cantilever leaf springs as the upper bars of a four-bar suspension. The front is set up with the stock axle, modified to accept the F-350 spindles, with a P&J four-bar and Mustang box. Yeah, I'm also 6'2" and around 200 lbs. and sitting in the cab puts my kneecaps up my nostrils, but it's a hotrod, okay?

I'm going to fabricate something close to an express bed for the back, since they are rare in original form. I'm going fully fendered. The 17.5-inch tires from the tow truck give a tall enough profile that it looks close to original wheels to the untrained eye. Yup, it will sit high, and that's the look I want.

 

That is freakin' cool dude.

 

I am finally getting time to build my 31. It will be similar to Vergil's but with solid steelies and brown primer.

here is what it used to look lile (it had a Alexander Brother's Grasshopper vibe, including green frame)



and here is what is looks like today as I start mocking it back up



and here is the concept of what I want it to look like. (courtesy of Sinister)
