Thats the logo I wanna put on my little pickup. Im told its a 30 model A. I got it half built and really poorly so from my favorite salvage yard. The motor that was in it was full of sand from the blaster. I Have since changed the motor for an 80s 302. Added zoomies. And Straightened the grill to a 90 degree angle. And it now has floors.
You guys have converted me to a straight axel fan. So that will be changed later. Once I get it home, I will start on that. Been at a friends shop for awhile while I worked on the 53. Sort of a side project, and thats what it will remain.

Soooo, been holding out on us 'eh [ddev That's a cute little truck [cl[cl Is that some kind of IRS peeking out of the rear? T-Bird ? Straight axle front and IRS..........now that would be different Wonder how it would handle I like the theme idea, always liked that song too
Cool truck, I'll be watching this one [P

Its a thunderchicken rear end, and it will be changed too. whoever built this lil thing really butchered it. Thats why its taken me 3 years so far and no obvious progress. Mostly just fixing other guys errors.

Good looking lil truck.

FWIW, I used to live in Rock Island, now I'm across the river.

Snake Farm has better eyes than I. I had to go back and take a second look on the rearend.
My wife's Cougar has one too n was wondering how it would work in a rod.
Nice truck Rev.

Those rims hurt my eyes. (so does the pale white spare tire )

Looks good otherwise. Tiny!

 

[42chevy]

I like it alot. Great theme song also.

 

[the reverend muddy grimes]

the pale spare tire hurts mine too. the rims will have to go, especially the aluminum one on the drivers side. assuming I keep it. Im 6'5. Fitting in is an issue.
