The tires are going to hit the fenders on bad terrain. But maybe in the interim you have it running to be able to move it around, get familiar with and decide how you’re going to do it with what vision. It’s essentially a ‘roller’ you’re only going to get if you’re doing everything to it eventually. I’d probably go with Toyota just because parts and it was used for off-road applications thus good for a truck.
It can be old Chevy 6, Ford, BMW, Toyota.
#Rust patina truck update
But I do like this truck put back to original height, update spindles and brakes, get some real tires and rims on it, a straight 6 fuel injected. Because I’m aware of how easy it is for buyers to poor-mouth the asking price. But I didn’t do it to make money selling them. I have some rat bikes that are pretty great compared to what was original.
#Rust patina truck mod
Parts on hand use? So this is a fledgling ‘rat rod’ versus ‘resto mod rod’. Fuel injection and CDI ignition would be worth the time in the long run. It’s still going to be a Pinto and not much faster.
#Rust patina truck plus
Like doing a bunch of work plus much money to put a Weber in a Pinto. But GM fours are not exactly going to give a satisfying result. If you need to race a 1930’s truck on the street, there’s probably no sense in talking logic to begin with so I give the seller much credit for that restraint. Something reliable enough not so thirsty you won’t drive it on weekends to keep it loose. Something reliable and torque-y enough to actually use as a truck. The old Toyota straight 6 land cruiser engine is begging to go in that nose. It’s actually a good starting point to do an actual updated ‘resto rat rod’. At least it’s not some supercharged V8 boat anchor. A Chevy 4 is the last 4 I’d have put in there but budget project, budget results. This would be better with a straight 6 and original height not chopped cab. Given it is lowered and chopped, it’s just a bunch of parts you can also do whatever you want. But in the end, price is important – does this truck tick enough boxes to be interesting? I love the spotlight as to the grille, the seller mentions it is a reproduction of a ’32. The condition of the bed matches the rest of the body, and there is no sign of serious rust anywhere that we are shown. The truck appears to be wearing its original wheels. The roof has been chopped 2 1/2 ” in harmony with the lowered suspension. The truck’s turn signals and lights have been converted to LED you’ll see if you watch the video, they’re plenty bright! The aluminum buckets and quilted upholstery detract from the look a bit – but that’s just my opinion. The machine-turned dash and four-spoke steering wheel suit the truck.
#Rust patina truck driver
I’m not sure an Iron Duke would be so guilty of overheating, but a tow truck driver told me once that his prime customers are overheated hot rods. The truck also has a new clutch cylinder, a new gas tank with an electric fuel pump (yay), and a three-core aluminum radiator with a righteous electric fan. The brakes are 1940 Ford with a new master cylinder. To accommodate a 1940 rear axles and springs, the frame has been zeed, and a 4″ drop straight axle brings the whole truck toward the ground, but since a factory Model A sits so high, this looks just about right.
This combination has abundant precedent according to H.A.M.B. The builder installed a Chevy 2.5 liter Iron Duke four-cylinder in place of the old L-head, pairing it with a two-barrel Weber carburetor and a Chevy five-speed manual. Let’s see if the rest of the ingredients are satisfactory. Working order is not in question – the truck runs and drives, and the eight-second video in the listing makes it look like fun. And that’s another element to consider: how exactly do you want to roll? If you altered a Model A pickup, would it be configured this way? Because you’ll pay $25,000 for this one, and while it’s got all the patina you could want, you should be happy with its mechanicals too. Here on eBay is a 1931 Ford Model A pickup all dressed up in today’s style and ready to roll away from its current home in Denver, Colorado. Sort of a hot rod with a few rules about its looks. What exactly is a resto-mod? The definition is malleable depending on your perspective, but in my mind, it’s a mostly stock-looking vehicle that packs a performance punch well above its factory stats.
