Customs 1930 model A?

I am looking at a 1930 Ford model A pickup, and I am in unfamiliar territory. It is on an aftermarket frame made from square tube, and the cab has been partially channelled 4 inches. It has no roof, and the frame has been z-d 8-12" in the back. I have a sbc and a t5 transmission I would like to put in it, but Im not sure if its worth buying. It comes with a ford 9", but no rear suspension, and nothing for the front. It has parts to make most of a box, but no sheetmetal ahead of the cab, as well as no grill. I can get front suspension for around 2 grand and a grill for 5-6 hundred. Rear sispension will probably cost 1 grand as well. It also needs a floor as there is only a big gaping hole right now.
My question is, is it worth the $2400 he is asking? Around here anything pre 1960 is really rare, but Im not sure if that jistifies the price. I was thinkong of offering mpre like $1800, but maybe I should jist p*** on it?
Thanks for reading my novel

A pic or two would really help out. Square tube ch***is, sounds a little dodgy to me.

Doc.

 

Depends on your abilities, price seems ok (without pics).

 

Does it include a legal 1930 ownership? Don't know about Alberta, but here in Ontario if you don't have the proper 1930 ownership, it will be registered as the year it is licenced. Thus it will have to meet current modern vehicle pollution standards. I would check out the regs. at your at your motor vehicles registry dep't. Just something to consider.

 

For ownership, alberta is different. All I need is a bill of sale and a vin number to get registration. I will upload the only picture of it that I have tonight. The frame was purchased for the truck and then z-d, so I think its ok. I would probably change the z to a little more moderate drop though. I can weld, and I am quite good at mechanical work. I cant use body hammers at all though.

 

sounds like a pos...p***.

 

Heres the only picture I have of it. I also made a spreadsheet of parts it would need, could someone let me know if I'm missing anything please? And thanks for all the help so far

 

There would have to be some Damn nice parts to go with it at that price.

 

I hope that body dolly in the pic isn't the "aftermarket frame made from square tube" you were talkin about....haha jk.

Seriously though....it's hard to say if you're missing anything unless you can tell us everything the car comes with. I notice you don't metion brakes, does the truck currently have any? Plan on having interior? And those are really just basics....

In general, if you're in unfamiliar territory I would recommend buying a complete Model A and getting familar with it. Then try to build one.

 

Thanks guys, I think I will p*** on this one, and spend my project money on the truck torn apart in my dads shop. By the way, the only usable parts are the cab, the frame, the box parts , headlight buckets, taillights, and a ford 9" included in the sale.
