Hot Rods Report on the confused 34/32 pickup

It's been a long time since I posted about my pal Daves confused pickup,Dave has been busy working on cars for his friends and has finally found time to work on his truck again.

Dave started the project in 2008 and it has been a on again ,off again deal but it looks like the truck will be finished this year.

This photo shows the truck from my previous update.



These are the current photos and I will add the earlier treads also. HRP









Dave has started painting the truck,the frame was painted last year,but he has been working on the body and paint recently,still a few pieces need to be painted.







You might notice that Dave has changed the wheels to chrome reverse.

 

Looking good! Love the color too.

 

Looking good, nice to see a roomy well lit paint room. Bob

 

The earlier threads about the truck if you missed them. HRP

Nice work. Like the color and engine choice. Also like the full height cab.

 

I like it. Thought about painting mine gold earlier. Its going to look nice. I think the trucks looks soooo much better with full fenders on them.

 

That gold looks awesome! This ones gonna look great.

 

Since this project started Dave has talked about painting the truck several colors,black,red and had decided on a nice blue color and even bought the paint only to us it on a friends model A.

The gold does look great! HRP

 

Danny this is a great thread,I love the gold and that cream firewall is sweet

 

I know how that is. I bought orange for mine before deciding on blue but recently bought black. Its a tough decision to pick a color.
Danny, are those Brookville front fenders on the truck?

 

Yes Don, he got them from Deuce Roadster several years ago. HRP

 

Did they have to be modified any? If so, do you have a photo of how they were modified?

 

Don,as I recall there was some light modification work needed where the rear of the fender met the running board,remember the cab is the only 34 ford part,frame and fenders are Deuce, HRP

 

Yes, I remember that. I was going to buy some Brookville steel fronts for my coupe and was wondering just how much trouble I am going to have to make them fit properly.

 

It looks damn good !

 

Don,you know how these old cars are,some take more work than others but a pie cut in the fender where it attached to the running board,nothing major. HRP

 

Cool - looking very good - Thanks

 

LOVE the colour combination!

 

Very nice

 

Nice work and Thanks for sharing!

 

I don't know how this thread got split,anyway this is the interior. HRP

 

The column drop bracket is pretty cool , as is the heater.

 

Love the build, someone has great taste!
Care to share the paint brand and code? Thanks!

 

I'll ask Dave.HRP

 

Great truck and color.

 

Danny forgot to ask ya yesterday but next time you talk to Dave ask him if he wants to sell the steelies.

 

Will do Harry. HRP

 

Following. That bed is really nice, Im sorry I didnt read all the comments but Im assuming that was hand made?

 

Yes sir. HRP
