The truck is a narrowed/sectioned '39-'47 Dodge cab.
The car is a '28-'29 Ford Roadster heavily channeled over a '35-'40 Ford chassis.

It ain't grey hair, it's chrome!
There was a full feature in Hot Rod or one of those mags on the roadster - built by a kid in the late 50's or early 60's, it was put away then and re-discovered in the last year - a ' barn find ' - it was on ebay shortly after....... some of the construction and so on are are little primitive but it is just the way it was done then. Most average builders were lucky to have a set of torches and a stick welder then.

The grille is a '35 Ford truck with the bottom trimmed off and homemade insert. Hood looks to be homemade due to the mismatch of the '28-'28 cowling and '35 grille, and also the lack of a belt line reveal. The blister on top was likely made for clearance of water hoses for the flathead. The side blisters are made to cover the ugly '35-'40 frame horns.

The 1st is a waste of a Hemi, the roadster is different. The hubcaps on the roadster are neat pieces though.
