I'm From Sebring Florida... I'm building a 34 ford pickup. yeah doesn't seem to be too many around these parts. Welcome to the board!

NICE!!!

The bed depth is only 18 inches. We left the legs on the bottom not knowing how we are going to mount it to the frame. It's just sitting on the back of the truck right now. I did take a quick look on the web at some pics... I never really notices how low on the back of the cab they did sit.

The frame is actually sitting on jack stands right now. The rear is just sitting under it. the front has a 3 inch drop axle and I'm going to take some leaves out of it. It will be coming down :D

Okay so today me and my dad built the structure for the bed of the truck... I had picked up some one inch square tubing from the scrap pile at work and today it got used. We build a jig to make sure we had good square 90 degree corners and to make sure everything was in the right place...

Okay... so I didn't get the 327... BUT that's okay. I went and picked up a 1959 283 and 3 speed tranny today... WOO WHO... didn't thing $375 bucks was a bad deal at all.

Okay... so I think I've scored a 327...

My first car was a 1970 Nova 2 door... man I LOVE those cars... I've built 3 of them... a 68, 70 and 72...

I'm not new to building cars either... but this is my first scratch build. So far it's been a lot of fun, but I have been fortunate to run into some great deals on parts and such. I have a few stories too. When I was a much younger i was hot rodding a 1939 LeSalle 2 door sedan. had dropped a...

Anyone care to post their rookie mistakes... or the things that sidetrack builds? I know it doesn't happen often but maybe some of us new guys can learn from your mistakes and keep on track. ?? Thanks

good day... So yesterday was a good day... I was talking to a friend of mine, who is also a hot rodder, and ended up swapping my AA frame and a few bucks for a full blown 1934 frame. It came out of a hot rod he had parted out a long time ago. Has the 350 motor mounts already installed...

proportions and home made door hinges been messing with bed size and such to make sure it looks right... Also my dad and I have been working on a set of door hinges, just can't/wont pay $400 or even $300 for a set of repops...

I'm planning on a SBC, just 'cause that's what I'm most familiar with, either a 305 or a 350... (the last '72 nova I did, i picked up a complete 305 for 75 bucks) whatever I can dig up at a reasonable price. I have even considered a straight 6 just for something different. I have began work on...

Okay... I'll get this build thread started. This is a 34 ford truck cab, on model AA rails, a'32 4 inch drop axle and an S-10 rear end. it's chopped 2.5 inches and stretched a full foot. I plan of enlisting my Dad (75) to help with this build and do it on a budget. I'll get some more pics up...

Thanks... I'll get my build thread going! and take lots of pics along the way!

Would love to find some rodders near me.

Yeah I'm not a little guy, and I fit okay... the cab is fiberglass, chopped 2.5 and stretched a foot. 6 inches in the door and 6 behind so it looks proportional. I hope the fiberglass thing isn't an issue here. I'd rather have a fiberglass hot rod than no hot rod. As for a build page, I'm...

Thanks! Thanks for the welcome!

Hi from Sunny Florida and the land of the Historic 12 Hours of Sebring. I'm a car guy for life... I've had some pretty cool cars over my years but I am building my first real hot rod. it's a 34 Ford pickup on AA rails. at least for now. I've had everything for a 39 LeSalle to a Lotus...
