Projects ID this yard art pickup.

Kind of a trick question, I know the answer. Just putting it out there for some fun. Useful tech stuff I'll post later.

 

Closed cab T? Maybe another brand from the same era.

 

don't know but it's neat.

 

its not ford
parallel leafs
the cowl and doors are all wrong
and the back looks like its home made
i would take it though
tk

 

International Truck

 

20s dodge pickup, gary

 

the bed rail is square...International.
I thought the IH cab backs were wood back then.

 

It's a 1926 Chevrolet.

 

Here is my coupe.....for comparison.

 

The cowl looks like it might be hand-formed? All I can say is that it's not a Ford.

 

Rusty. HRP

 

Looks like a match to the 26 Chevy coupe, which used to be the hottest car in town.

 

I got it from a friend whose shop went up in flames. I call it the "Burn Victim". By the way....the truck in question looks like it used to be a four door sedan. The rear of the frame gives it away. It also looks like it is wearing Model A wheels.

 

The Model A wheels are whats throwing me off and making me think it's some sort of home built thing.

 

It IS kinda home built, being that it WAS a sedan and has different wheels...

 

Chevrolet U.S.A-1

 

Dodge Bros?

 

Another giveaway that it is a home built 1926 Chevrolet is the fact that Chevrolet did not have a truck body in 1926 that had that style "cab". The '26 Chevy sedan front is identical to the "truck" in question.

 

Winner. And even more weird, like Dodgers, mine is a coupe that was in a fire as well. Not a piece of wood left.

I bought it at Mike Fennels auction a few months ago for $275. Not even the rat rodders wanted it. It was a cowl, doors and fenders. I have tons of Model A stuff, and found that Model A hubs bolt onto the Chevy spindles. Model A rear end bolts into the Chevy spring perches. 2 Saturdays with some tubing, hot rolled sheetmetal and my press brake, and I made the cab, and bed. It's a bolt together deal, so in theory, it could become a coupe again. But never on my watch.

It's yard art now, been looking for a couple years to put an old truck in front of my old gas station.

 

Be more fun if it was driveable.

 

Here's a photo of a 26 Chevy Truck

 

Well it was probably a sedan at one time with a custom wood back and roof tacked on. The slope of the hood doesn't look like a '26 Chev. Let's say a Whippet with Ford box and wheels. I can't remember which vehicles had those full eliptic rear springs!!!

 

That is DEFINITELY a 1926 Chevy hood. The rear springs are not "full eliptic". The upper pieces are the turned down frame rails.

 

What he said. Like having a wife you don't 'enjoy'. Might as well get a blow-up doll.

 

Some day I hope to have the skills to build a driveable car. For now I will enjoy looking at the truck.
Where did you buy your blow up doll?

 

neat truck

 

looks good...

 

not sure but its very cool!

 

""and found that Model A hubs bolt onto the Chevy spindles. Model A rear end bolts into the Chevy spring perches.""

That easy?

 

Pretty cool. Even if it's just yard art. I figured it was a chevy.
