Two days ago I was on my way to purchase a 32 Ford Pick Up about 2 hours away in snow country. I will make a long story short. I followed the instructions from my fucking GPS and ended up on a backwoods dirt road where me and my trusty 4-Wheel drive truck and trailer got stuck, in the process I broke my right index finger along with a huge gash caused by unhooking the trailer and having it roll backward. It took 2 huge John DEERE tractors to pull me out. I then went and looked at the P.U. and decided I was buying it one way or the other. THe owner was a great young guy who is presently having some financial problems I paid him what he was asking, and because I have always admired HOTROD PRIMERs 32 Pick Up . I am very happy with the deal considering everything that had happened. Very nice body with finished patch panels installed, full hood, nice original rad shell, New replacement box. Bear claw latches installed on doors and tail gate, restored steel dash, working cowl vent, steel running boards, glass fenders. Quick release steering column and steering wheel, swing pedals, new floor pans with replacement wood panels. Very nice original fire wall. Frame is a mint original 32 Ford fully boxed, New Vega steering box with borgeson joints fully operating a new Lucky 7 dropped and drilled axle, new hair pins and Camaro disc brakes complete. Rearend is a 1987 Monte Carlo mounted with a T.C.I. double leaf spring kit including shocks. Set up for a SBC with a Chev transmission mount
Congrats, Mr. Shack. The truck looks like a good one. Sorry you ended up "paying" a little more than expected, what with the hold-up and the broken finger.
Hey, at least you injured yourself for SOMETHING.... Nothing worse than doing yourself in for no reason at all. The truck looks incredible. There's a couple of cheap 283's floating around in the classifieds. Slap one in & have some fun. Welcome to the 32-34 pick-up club!
Good for you, you got what you wanted and helped him out too.That looks like a real nice project. What is the pedal assembly from?
Saw that one on kijiji nice looking truck. I know another guy who was going to look at that this weekend. Good buy.
Damn nice truck! Not sure what you paid for it but it looks like it was probably worth it! There is some good work done on there!
good find had an adventure of simaler going after a 57 cheby went by drawn out directions went down wrond dirt road in a rain storm
Congratulations on your finding a very cool truck. The story that goes with your going after it is priceless. Thanks for sharing.
Ah Yes, But Brad you have the one that got away, my wife still has not forgiven me over that one. Larry
Looks like a really solid start. I love those trucks. Everything in my life seems to have a story too. Masking tape is the bodymans choice for injurys!
