Riley's 1934 pick up truck-build thread

Very cool truck Eric. I'm sure you two are having a blast with it.

 

Soo... does this automatically give you the coolest dad of the year award. I would think so.

Kids has good taste and I would think a little great direction.

 

What kind of radiator is that?

 

A junk stock Model A we cut up with a sawsall.
Will need to get a new custom one made.

Thanks y'all.Having fun and doing it on the cheap.
Notice the 21 stud motor? Got it and the trans from a rod shop updating a old Ford.
Runs perfect.

 

Great looking TRUCK and a cool way to spend time together. KEEP us posted on the build...........

 

Wow Eric that is awesome. I need to have Riley build me a car while he still works for otter pops and pizza.

 

Otter pops and burritos.

If any local Denver folk are planning on going to the Greybeard show this weekend,
I have the truck in my booth.Stop by and say hello.

We will be by eric. Should be a good show. - Gabe

 

Great looking truck... one very lucky kid... looks like he may have an eye for hot rods...

 

Neat build.... two questions... how is the 6" front kick measured? And how much of a drop do you have in the front axle. Thanx, Gary

 

6 inch vertical difference between the front rail to the center rail.
normal 4" drop axle, I think it has a SuperBell...yeah it does.

Gabe,I have shirts with your artwork done.
Tweaked it a little.... you let me know what you think..

 

Me Too! - Jeff

Can you actually move around in your garage now? It was pretty full when I was there this summer!
