Does anyone have pictures of a fenderless 40 thru 47 ford pickup. Please post here. I picked up 3 47 pickups to build a 40 shop truck out of and was thinking of a fenderless rat rod out of the other parts but have not seen any pictures of a 40 - 47. thanks; homebrew
For reference I would try www.carnut.com Hope you have some luck with this, love the idea and I'm sure it would look really cool !
Brooding Swede. i LOVE that thing. i remember when you first posted pics. i would'nt mind owning that thing myself. here is my 16 year old neighbor's (Bucket~Boy) "real cheap rod" based on a 40-47 cab sectioned 4 1/2", chopped 5 1/2" (a real PITA) and channeled 4" over a frame built from 4x4 I-beam found at the scrap yard for $50 (20'). it'll run a 4 cylinder 5 speed out of a Ford Ranger, till a suitable V8 is aquired (ie. he can afford one). it'll also sport a scratch made shortened bed that'll house the gas tank and battery.
here is an example from the archives. something i stole off the HAMB at one time or another i'm sure... i never have seen a pic from the front of this one.
I've seen that one at Famoso the last couple of years and being all my film is on a digital I don't keep them long but I believe that this truck has a tracter grille like an 8 or 9N and has always lit my fire.
In a couple of weeks, I could post some pictures of my 41 Ford truck I am finishing. It's gonna look pretty cool I hope. Just a few more things to finish up before it will be ready to roll...
