Projects Yet Another 34 Ford P/U Build

Fit the 40 Ford brakes on the front. 8" Ford rear end brakes and cut & fit the winshield frame.

 

Been doing some work on the truck & not uploading pictures, so here we go again.....Started some rust repar work & have the rear suspension tacked in place.

 

More rear suspension. The front end has one beam acting as a panard bar while the other side rolls on a bearing. The trans cross member is done & I'm using a hydraulic lever arm shock front & rear

 

Ready to take it off the table & set it on the ground!

 

Working on the kick boards and transmission tunnel.

 

Glad to see another torsion setup going together. Check out Lee Osborne's 28 tub. I think the guy's name who built it and other torsion sprung hot rods is Steve Panarites(?).
I'm doing something like this, hopefully sooner than later!

Looks like you won't see much of the frame rail forward of the cowl but it would be neat to add a sliver of square tube (wedge) to the bottom and span the gap from the cowl to the front of the rail.

 

Hey Jeem, Yes that's on the list just haven't got to it yet. With the New Year Holliday this weekend I hope to knock out a few items!

 

Started to trim & tack in the floor, also add seat belt mounts.

 

Made the tanks for the radiator and rad hoses.

 

Clutch & brake pedal and masters mounted.

 

AWEsum!

 

Started the bed sides, front panel and tailgate surround.

 

Fuel tank & battery box going together.

 

Amazing fab work! I really like the aluminum bed, very cool. Keep it up.

 

Beautiful work, and I love the design you're showing. Keep it coming!

 

Thanks guys
Here's the fan & shroud. Then started to disassemble suspension for bodywork & paint.

 

A truck build I missed?
Damn i'm slippin'
On board now

 

Taking the engine out for a rebuild

 

Has the original pistons, crank & bearings. Only found 2 cracked rings.

 

Started to mock up some wiring



Have the key, headlight switch & turn signal under the dash.

 

Heaters mounted



Mounted the headlight pedestals to the grill shell

 

Looking good Nice build......

 

Hood top used to look like a bag of walnuts but it's coming around.




Started picking & filing the dents in the roof

 

Damn cool anymore progress?

 

Thanks. Yes I'll get some pictures posted. Most of it is body work.

 

Been a long time again. Customer cars have come first. Got some inspiration after purchasing these headlights. I'll have to try and get back on the truck I do have other pics to post but they are mostly bodywork.
