Starting to restore a 1933 Ford pickup hot rodded in the 50's

Great looking truck .... I will watch this one....

 

nice, like the chop nd the custom dash
looks good all cleaned up too

 

I forgot to mention that if you heat and bend the pitman arm, remove it from the pitman shaft first....

 

Update. Chassis done, early Cadillac 331 and Washington Blue paint ! Red wheels will probably get changed to blue...

 

Looking very nice! Are you still going to run it full fendered and with a hood?

 

It's come a long way. I love the Caddy mill. Looking forward to seeing it on the road.

 

nothing says hotrod like a cadillac! planning a 390 for mine.

 

Are there any problems mounting a 32 grille on a 33 /34 frame? The cross member apears to set forward of where a 32 is located. I would like to use a 32 truck or car grille on my full fendered 34 pickup

 

A 3 year old thread coming back to life,
about a truck no less!
Nice!
Gotta be close now?

 

wow...I'm the only one that thinks that dash just doesn't get it. Beautiful in the Merc, butt-ugly in that truck or any other early vehicle. IM(not so)HO

Funny, a 3 year old thread coming back to life is magic on a website that focuses on 70+ year old hotrods

 

Well guys, sorry for the looong hiatus on this thread but I keep becoming the victim of self inflicted "Too many projects syndrome".
Anywho, to finally wrap this one up, I sent the truck over to some new found friends for some help. Junior, Clark, Myles and the crew have been doing a great job.
Recently fabbed up a set of headers and throttle linkage for the Caddy...

 

I could be wrong, but i think that truck was parked next to the 32 5w roller i bought from a guy in NJ in fall of 2008.

 

Well,at least there is some progress being made. HRP

 

Red 5w ?

 

Yep, thats the one.

 

sweet truck and love the early bronco as well been driving a 1968 for 20 years and 74 luber daily

 

Do you still have the coupe ?

 

I do. I am still collecting parts for it and deciding how to deal with the bad floor job. Did i buy it from job?

 

We decided that we would lose the red wheels and whitewalls in favor of Black on Black. I think a major improvement, just gonna add some mid 40's caps.

 

how about the vintage chrome smoothies

 

The truck is looking great! Nice choice on the wheels/tires. I dig it.

 

Glad you ditched those Red wheels. Love the Black on Black.

I can't wait to see this bad boy come home!!!

 

Looking Good,maybe Santa will bring you hubcaps for Christmas,Lucky

 

Just got some caps for it, unsure as to putting trim rings on it or these '40 accessory discs or both, or none at all...

 

Looks great either way!

 

I wanted something a little different than stock tail lights so the guys fabbed up this rear pan to house the '49 Ford tail lights and Hollywood plate light...

 

After the pan was done, we thought it needed to have the stake pockets extended to clean up the look, so paper templates were made...

 

The guys got the tail pan all painted up and installed
