    Generally I am not a fan of the 38 truck grill, but in your case I can look past that. The rest of the truck is just..............WOW!!

    that thing is right on
     

  8. My first pick for a grill was the "34" grill... but i could never afford one... my friend lazyv8 scored a phone number for me from a Godguys show and i was able to get it for $400...my second choice was a "38" "39" grill...The price range was easy to obtain. Thanks for the compliment.:D

    The original radiator shell on the truck in the under the tree pictures indicate it is a 1930 Ford Model A Pickup rather than a 1931.
    You have done some wonderful work and beautiful work but it was shock to see that 38-39 Ford Pickup grille hanging out in front after all those quality work and design pictures.
    Please get rid of those horrible universal fit ripple industrial hoses. You can find some late model hose to get the job done or use short hoses and chrome pipe in between. Those hoses really detract from the great and hard work you have done.
     
  10. You know...Its funny you bring up the hose's...my pals blasted me on useing them...So if you want to donate money to the fund, I'll give you my Pay-Pal account to deposit money in.
    The "30"-"31" grill... Well the original title say's 1931

    The "38" grill...is gone...Maybe you looked at the last few pictures.
    Its sports the "34" grill now.:D

    In the family since new........................priceless. Only thing I'd change would be to use the stock grille.

    Beautiful truck !!! I sure hope you inserted a flex line of some sort in your Trans cooler lines between the frame and your transmission. If not they will crack and leak if you plan on driving it much.

    ps; I still find it amazing that some fellow enthusiasts are so critical of anothers' hard work , determination & success. They're not worth the air over your teeth .
