I Love This Ride!

I'm with ya on this one Jeff...but check the '34 PU in the latest R&C...great stance, moon discs, striped hood panel louvers, etc, etc...

 

That thing pulling a digger would be a beautiful picture. You're right Brush it just screams hot rod.

Brush: The original picture you posted is a "Replica" - belongs to Paul Brewer of Hamilton, OH

I have to agree the fenders make the truck - it just screams HotRod

- I belive the article is still on StreetRodder's Website - yep

I guess I'm missing something here. The article says it has a "hefty 296" T bird motor. I guess it could be a bored out 292 but, didn't the T bird come with a 312 in those days? Anyway, that's a nice pick up. Makes me want to go back to the farm and get that 30 Ford pickup. Humm.......

Edit: I don't know guys, take a close look at the cowl. Looks different from here.

 

thats a good article, streetrodder did. very cool, answered some of my questions...

 

once in a while they actually have something worth reading

 

Perfection.

that thing is RAD!

 

godforbid! its got a 1977 rear in it! it is not period perfect therefore it is junk! (actually, those are not my feelings at all, but im sure some of the "period purists" are thinking that)


haha, actually i think that truck is killer. it is totally perfect. i wonder if the builder is still mad at his bro for keeping him from buying the original one. i think its cooler that he built this one on his own. im also diggin those front fenders.

 

I'm drooling over that Y-block. Love em myself, but then again I been a Ford man since forever. sbc's are the work of the devil.

 

Throw the fenders and pipes in the nearest dumpster......the rest is pretty cool.

 

...anyone here ever known Muttley to mince words?...

 

I first seen this pickup about 3 yrs. ago cruisin' the Lima.Oh. Fairgrounds for the Rebel Run..Like blktop said...It sounds sooo good !!!...When I finally found it parked I was there for a long time cause I just couldn't take my eyes of it...I like it just the way it is...The only thing I'd want to change is the ***le into my name !!

 

Brush;
Back in the '50's, there was a chopped duece pickup with a Hemi in it, in Hamilton, Ontario. It was built by a guy named Watson. Jerry?
I wonder whatever became of it....

 

Straight pipes leave me as cold as a cu***ber, but other than that it's a Killer .

 

I think the '55 T-Birds were 292's. Pretty sure the first year for 312's was '56.
