1930 model a pickup

[Jaredp]

Last fall my buddy Andy sold me a pile of parts that was suppose to be a model A cab. Since then I have been collecting parts for the build. I have a Model a frame, an s-10 axle, model A front axle with wishbone, a tractor grill, a flat bed, and a 283 and a powerglide. I got started a few weeks back with straightening some of the panels with help from my buddy Aaron. This is how we straitened out the door. Luckily he had a crane.

Today we got back to work and made a frame for the floor and to get the cab back in one piece.

Here it is mocked up a little for fun.

If you can make a nice door out of that then you have the skills to make a darn nice hotrod. Keep on tinkering, and I'll just watch.[cl

Sorry I got them fixed

 

[Old Iron]

Aaaa yes there they are.
Heck of a way to straighten a door but, looks like it works.

Super cool!

I spent some time working on tearing the front axle apart. I also dropped the front axle and split the wishbones.

That's my idea of fixing it. A crane, a rose bud and a jack. add a sledge hammer and paint it.

There was a sledge hammer involved with getting the kingpins out.

I got my frame boxed and the holes filled in. I still have some grinding to do.

Nice work on the axle and frame. This is going to be a good one to watch.

What grill do you guys like? I'm leaning towards the ford grill.

Ford grill gets my vote!

 

[Jaredp]

Thanks for the input I think I will go with the 35 ford grill.

There's a reason everyone does the Ford grills. They look amazing.

But, everyone does the Ford grill. One vote against the grain from the peanut gallery!
