'34 Ford PU I've been working on

Here's it's current status

Here's what I've done so far...

Started with a new frame made by my buddy Dave (clipper), a cab I bought from another buddy of mine, some swap meet wheels and tires, and a rusty crusty frontend and rearend off Craigslist...

For the frontend I fabbed up some frame mounted wishbone mounts...

Made a pair of spring hangers for the spring behind frontend out of some 1" DOM tubing and 1/4" plate
