Yep, I'll be starting a new thread of my own. Soon as this gets here. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Hey buddy, well you already know but, I guess this story is about to start a new chapter, for anyone who cares. My old pickup is on its way to a...
More detailed info: Chassis: Original Ford Model A frame, this was an almost rust free frame, very nice especially the exposed areas. Un-Boxed,...
I love this truck but, I've got some muscle problems that aren't going to get any better. It's just getting to hard for me to drive. It's a small...
Looks just like mine. Check my build thread, tons of pics.
I went bronze bushings also. Pete and Jakes OIL FILLED shocks. Do it, you'll be glad you did.
If you don't have a tire/wheel to use you could always do this. Get the chassis together with body and most of the other weight on the suspension....
Yeah that would work. If I ever change the wheels/tires on my truck I would probably go 15" 40 style wheels with 650's and 500/525's to get the...
Yeah on a channeled car the 750 might come out of the wheelhouse too much. 16x650's and 16x500/525 would probably look right. In sure someone with...
Yeah that's what I run on my AV8 pickup with a 3" dropped model A axle. Gets the front down. A lot of guys had issues with the 16x425's being out...
Personally I like the 16x500/525 on a 4" wheel for the front but thats just me.
Cool project, body looks real nice. As far as tires, I had an old truck I had 16x650's on the front and 16x750's on the rear and thats a bigger...
Steering box looks good buddy.
Bump
Yeah it's not too pretty now after a summer of running around in primer working the bugs out.
That's my brother on the floor. Lol.
Thats what makes it fun!
I've always liked this Alexander Bros version of Chilly's coupe, before barris fucked it up.
Thanks! You know it buddy! Happy Holidays if I dont talk to you before then. Thanks! You can't heat pizza with a torch? Crap. Would...
My 3' dropped Model A by Anson after a summers worth of abuse. Time to paint it, lol.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Sorry man, but you can definitely tell these aren't stock ford axles. It's the way they all taper near the king pin so you can use a stock ford...
I'm no help either but it sure is friggin cool!
Thanks for the link. Not sure what he's going to do yet. I think he's leaning towards TH350. We will see. A lot of things are still just in the...
Gettin ready to go under the knife![ATTACH]
Thanks man.
Yeah we made it home ok. Thanks for a good deal on the frame. We just had some pizza and we're gettin ready to cut it up.
It's so easy to spot the aftermarket axles. The shape is all wrong. There are plenty of original Ford axles out there still and more people...
