Projects The "Keep on Truckin' " '34 Chevy Build

Thanks Jam master J!

 

Wow not sure how I missed this thread for so long but super cool build and great fabrication.

 

Like that shifter man,looks old. I need to do that with mine. Take care,Rob

 

Here you go badiddly,diddly Dave. The damn thing fit right on there like it was made for it. The third pic is with the T-5 rubber set in the 'A' piece for comparison if anyone is wondering.

 

Thanks Man! I appreciate it. I've been following your build as well. Very nice.

Hi Rob! Are you running a T-5 behind that Y-Block? BTW, I loved seeing the Omaha roadsters in the Revolution threads. So goddam cool. I am still kicking myself for not going!

 

Oh ya t5 all the way,85-90 in the fast lane all day

 

Haha! Zoom! I gotsta' get a ride in that go-cart of yours someday!

 

loving this build! is good to see a non ford build (not that i dislike fords,just nice to see something else being given the traditional build treatment).those exhaust headers are killer-well the whole thing truck is.cant wait to see it all together.

 

Ha! Thanks brudda! I'm no Plowboy! I don't have his talent, looks, or money! But I'm tryin'! Dre and Ed Lover were the schnitzel!

Thanks so much! You guys are gonna swell my head if y'all keep it up!
(please don't stop !)

 

looking good

 

I'm not big on pictures but here's the '31 as it sits today.

The wood in the cab has almost been replaced. Still have to do the doors.



The frame is made from 10ga. CRS.



The box is made mostly from 16ga. CRS.

The front suspension is a Ford type with a SB axle and hairpins.



The rear suspension is my version of P&J ladder bars and coilovers on an 8" Ford axle.



I have other pics but not on my 'puter. I'll have to dig them out.

NO!!!! You said you wanted pics .... Your work is second to none ...

Ron

 

Haha! I tried to load a new video last night, but it wouldn't cooperate. It is short but sweet, well bittersweet actually!

Haha! I'm just playin' You are too kind. It really does look great though!

 

I love this year of truck. Its looking good

 

Evening all. Has anyone in the audience successfully posted a video taken with their iPhone 4? I have a photobucket account and have posted videos from my camera, but I can't seem to get these to work.

I searched and also started a thread in the Q and A section but I can't seem to get any hits. Thanks!

 

Not much help here.......My phone is about 4 years old....I have a dinosaur.

 

Ha! Hi Ryan. The phone takes excellent pictures and video but I think the damn files are too big to load. I know I have to host the pics I post from it through Photobucket rather than just attaching them through the HAMB.

Anyone else have trouble, or am I the only douche with the 4?

 

I ended up adding a radiator and fuel pump, etc. to my engine cradle to make a run stand. It is something i have been meaning to do for a while. I have a couple other engines for future projects that will go on it. The radiator mount is adjustable/removable as is the instrument panel/battery tray/handle thingy. The mufflers are some HD parts my late father ended up with that I have been tripping over for years.

The video is short and unfortunately the radiator was a little clogged so I had to take it to get recored. Ill post a better video once it is all together.

 

I cant get the damn video to embed so here is a link to it. Those mufflers are a little too quiet for my taste, but will work for now. I didn't get a chance to do much tuning before the radiator puked, but I was happy that it would idle with the end carbs not even blocked off. I guess they are sealing pretty well!

Last weekend, between snowflakes, I pulled the last bits off of the frame in preparation for final welding. I rolled it all around on the saw horses and think I've now got everything welded. I took some pics for Tman .

 

keep up the great work - nice to see another Chevy build-was keeping an eye on the 32 chevy build as well

 

Wish I lived closer to see your work in person....Great job!!!!

 

Very impressive craftsmanship my friend, really like where this baby is headed, love the wide 5's as well. Keep on Keepin on dude. ~sololobo~

 

Thanks peeps!

Ron

 

Still messing around. I finally figured out how to embed the video. Sorry for the weak bump!

 

That should be a nice engine for your truck.....It doesn't take much to move them down the road.
