1935 Ford truck

[440Clark]

Well it's been a couple years since I've had this truck. I've done a few things so I will try to bring you all up to where I'm at. When I first got it, it was rusted out all the way around the bottom 4 or 5 inches or so, so patching the bottom inner and outer door skins, cab corners front and rear, and the back of the cab as well as fabbing rockers came first.

Top Chop

So then I cut 4" out of the top.

Looks good. Would love to see more of this. What are your plans?

 

[Skip]

Nice work so far. Chop looks right from that angle.

More pics of your cab rotisserie, please.

The Rotissouri

was made from two old engine stands. Don't have too many pics of it, but I could take some if you want. I will take a better pic of the frame after I take the cab back off and paint it, but anyway it looks like this. It's 2x4 1/8" and I cut a section out of the front frame to try to duplicate the taper and curves of a stock frame. I think I made it a little too long, but we shall see. I am going to use a new Lucky 7 4" drop axle, spring, perches, shock mounts and king pin kit along with a used Speedway disc brake kit I found off of Craigslist. Rear suspension will be 8.8 Ford with as many stock parts as I can use.

I am having a tough time posting pics. They are from my cell phone. Anyone got any ideas why?

I don't get it, that one worked.

Here's another

I don't know some pics i can get to load & some I can't. Anyway, plan is, 302 w/ single 4 tunnel ram, basically stock motor w/C4 trans and 8.8. Motor and trans mounts are done. next project is mounting front suspension, all the parts previously mentioned plus Im using the stock radius arms I got with the spindle and brake package.

A Ford in a Ford, that's about as radical as it gets!

Looking good. I prefer the 35 or 36 grill over the 32. I think the way it leans back to match the windshield is more pleasing to my eye but that's just my 2 cents.

Dude... truck's really looking good! Keep us posted! [dr

I don't know some pics i can get to load & some I can't.

Probably a size issue!

You're doin' fine. This truck is bringing back lots of memories for me. [P[P[P
Keep on tinkering.

Kenny c, I agree 100%. Old Henry got it right the first time the 31 and olders looked good with the early grill, the 32,33,34's with the deuce style and so on. Here's a teaser 440 test fit.

 

[kenny c]

looks great now for some wild headers. what style, fender well, zoomies, t-bucket?

 

[BillM]

Nice work, nice shop!

So then I cut 4" out of the top.

I love the "Z" cut in the roof split. I'll bet that helped out a bunch in lining it back up.

It's so cool to see all the different ways people come up with for attaining the same end result.
