34 Pontiac pickup

Well I traded for a 34 Pontiac over the weekend and I think I'm gonna make a pickup out of it.
By lookin at the pics you'll see why

I love the idea! Those long doors will make for a bigger interior, always a problem with the older pickups! [cl

Zipper

Looks like it mighta been used as a trailer....

Looks like a solid starting point ! Should be cool

Nice trade OI. That Tin Indian has some bent tail feathers so you might just as well hack and slash. LOoking forward to how you do it.

This should be interesting. [P [P [P

I like the idea. If you have long legs you will like the extra room.

PU has my vote. Like the idea lots.

That one is hacked up in the back worse than than the last one.lol Will make a nice nice custom truck.

OI, my votes for the long door pick-up too. Keep on tinkering.

You got that right Too bad I don't have a back end for this one as it's a touring sedan.
I done a bunch of work on the car in this pic for a neighbor and he is the person that had the one I got. This is what it would look like if it were all together.

I never have had to worry about long legs. I'm 5'9" but I do like the leg room the long doors will give it.
It does have some pretty good steel. Rust through is not an issue
Yes it was used as a trailer. The front frame rails were cut off and welded together to form the tongue.
This one will be on the back burner for a little while. I will have to do little bits to it between the others I'm building.

This is gonna be good!

Old, looking forward to seeing what you do with this
going to make a nice one.....

Looking at the side pic, I thought - not bad - then saw the rear
Holy Hay Wagon Batman !! Farmers will put anything with wheels to use with some hacking and scrap metal scabbed on.

At the time when they weren't worth anything, people used what they had to get by.
What's freaky, the guy my neighbor got the car from, actually found the original hood with the hood sides for it in the weeds at his place. Too bad he couldn't find the back section too.
