TiredIronGRB's '34 Ford

I've been taking a little break from building Rods for the last few months so I figured it was time to start one...I picked this one up last week, '34 chassis with a glass 3 window Salt-flat style chop three window body. All the grill, hood, inner fenders, dash and windshield frame are Henry steel and I have a steel cowl I'm going to use all the inner structure and cowl vent to make it look as traditional as possible.









It came with a later model 9" rear axle that's too wide and has adapters to make the early Merc wheels fit. I plan to use a Dana 44 from an International truck which has 373 gears and a locker, it also has the correct 5 on 5.5 lug pattern.



The SBC will probably go and a 401 Nailhead take it's place.

Wow, TiredIron, nice find. Go for it.

Looks like it's going to be nice.
Love the nailhead!
Torchie.

Very nice. I sure like 34s.

Very Nice indeed, look forward to watching this one.

That looks like a nice project.I love 32s,33s,34s.

Going to be cool[dr

Another TiredIron build. [P[P

34's are one of the prettiest early Fords IMO. Nice find, looks like a great start.
