34 PU New project from an estate- all apart 4 Attachment(s)
Even found a photo of the original 'Hot Rod'. WHY would this previous owner take it apart? New engine is full of water?. Today with good weather painted chassis with gloss black urethene [single stage fast dry]. Look at the hydraulic master set up! Winter project now. When I saw the grill, I had to buy it. Newc

Man, that left, rear brake line sure is ugly! Coop https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/attac...7&d=1664842905 |
Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart All brake lines and master cyl location to be changed. I agree- lots of work here. Newc

Found photo of the Original 'Hot Rod' . Lots of chrome and 'STACKS' exhaust! Washington State, anyone remember this truck? Have the 'Stacks', should use again? Very Period! Why would a fellow take this apart, and scatter the parts? I'd just drive it, now it's a project. Can't quite read the plate. Newc

Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart Dump the stacks . . . they always look cheesy to me. I liked them when I was about 13 . . . now, not so much. :rolleyes:

Agree....that would be a sano rig sans stacks! Coop . |
Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart Try contacting Al Drake in Portland. Also try posting on the HAMB.
The stacks might be cheesy... but will set the truck apart from the "velveeta" trucks you would otherwise see! |
Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart I must still be about 13, because I like the chrome stacks. I think they fit the character with the chrome grill shell and later front bumper. It has a great 50's shop truck vibe.

Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart If we are voting I vote for just like the photo! Stacks are like bellbottoms out of style but I still like them!
|
Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart I like the stacks and Im going to put them on my 41 Tonner when I get to that part.
|
Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart plates look like "HP 9930" to me, good luck with it.
|
Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart Not big on the stacks, but sure as heck like the look of bed pipes.
|
Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart al's got the plate number right, but is it WA State or A Canadian B.C.?? Newc

Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart Pretty sure I saw that truck at the Nationals in Yakama in the eighties (84/85) . but it had wires on it. I loved the stacks because it was done so cleanly. At the time I had a 36 Dodge pickup so the owner and I talked a bit .

Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart I like the way it is in the picture also. Is the grille tilted back?…I'm not big on stacks but a healthy Flathead would sound real nice, coming out of up there!……. Mark

Latest is a good 59A engine from a '37 Ford - [chev V8 now]. Ran the eng with a rebuilt dist from Charlie-he says Hi to all. Cleaned up the flywheel, and found a 10" diaphram P Plate new, also a Ford 10' nos disc. Warmed the disc to remove any moisture from time. Noticed the flywheel had wear from a 9.5" and a 10" disc. Also the '34 transmission had some clearance grinding in the bellhousing, for the 10"?? Hope it all clears when together. thoughts ?? Really want to get the chassis done this Winter, Painter has scheduled cab-et all for Dec. Newc

Ok; Spent this week installing a 59ab with a '38 trans set up as an early V8. One belt and a '39 std generator [fan type]. Changing the belt will still require lifting the eng, even with the Mercury mount adapters. 10" clutch required the use of a '37 up [78] trans case. Next- new gas tank and better hydraulic lines and that setup. Body goes to painter in Dec. Newc

Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart Newc,
Man that is coming along nicely! Thank you for the updates and pictures! Must be nice to start fresh like that and build up a car or truck! Lot of work but you can get to the items much better as you assembly things. Regards, Chris |
Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart Looks to have a well massaged (lowered)rear crossmember with the curved spring & closed drive retained as well.

Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart I see a cream and maroon truck and I want to paint it BLACK! Just sayin.

Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart Quote:
Five years ago, my painter did my '36 half-ton with it when I requested my frame to be painted black, saying to me that Industrial Black will soon be history. He blasted the chassis, primed the chassis, then two coats of Industrial Black. It looked brand new. |
Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart Nice truck!! I like it:)
|
Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart I am loving this build too! Thanks for sharing it with us, and who doesn't love an old school hot rod? Kinda fun that you are bringing it back to the photo.

Re: 34 PU New project from an estate- all apart I had a 34 PU back in the early 60's. Had juice brakes on it when I got it, but I put the 59A in. Other than that the rest was stock. Had it for several years as my daily driver. Wish I had it back

Got some help today and finally put the cab on the chassis. A real bit of progress, and set up for the Winter work. The wood mount kit needed some fine tuning, but it worked. Don't expect those repro wood mounts to be perfect. Enjoy fellows -photos
