Hot Rods c-cabs

i done the search, no luck but i kno there was an old post about c-cabs. were they made from wood or metal and i'd like to see some pics of c-cabs

 

does mine count??

 

you bet it does!!! whats the story on it? its cool looking

 

Original Ford C-cabs were made of steel with some wood framing for the body, and lots of wood for the top. I'm not sure on years, but I think they were in production from about 1923-1926. All used a proprietary version of the early cowl. Two really good books came out last year on the model "T", and one of them has a good section on commercial trucks. Hope that helps. Something quick to add, Howell's out of Texas offers just about all the panels for a C-cab except the cowl and doors. might take a look at thier websight to see how this stuff looks. Thier catalogue always had a blown-up drawing of a C-cab body in it.

 

check out the thread on the Pie Wagon...........easy search.....

 

Yeah, I'd like more info and pics on it as well...PS-I like the pics of your Chevy and the ladies on your profile.

I am glad to see I am not the only T freek , I have a 1916 center door T, It has a 265 vette motor with a x-1 manifold with 6 97 carbs, If you want to check it out ,I think it is still on the Radir Wheels website. They made a metal p.u, cab from 1919 to 1923, They made a panel delivery in 1914, but they where made out of wood,

 

I forgot to tell you , a freind of mine might still have for sale cheap. call me at 619 573 2637

 

Picture of Andy's T the day I sold it for the second time in 2000. The guy still owns it and it lives in a vaccum bubble. The other picture is me in 1976 just before I bought it for the first time, without the Cub Barnett engine. Happy days

 

John Bonham's old ride. ^^^.
The Pie Wagon is one of my favorite Tom Daniel's designs. C cabs are tits.

 

Yes it was Johns ride, he was a mate of mine.

awwwwww man i have been getting ready to build one of these for a while now im glad i aint the only c cab freek lol

 

here are a few , would love to build the Silver concept

 

The first one in the upper left of the previous post is a Rod 'n Race C-Cab Pickup. They also offer a longer Sedan Delivery version with a single rear door as pictured below. Web site is www.rodnrace.com

 

The silver one is the cats nuts! And brutally easy to build. Let's see some more pics. I'm interested.

I have a redwood C-cab that was built by a cabinet maker in Bisti NM designed to fit a 28-29 Model A CCPU. It's 6-1/2" longer than a stock cab. I also have some nice interior cushions. It's in Durango and I'd be happy to give it away. I kept the flatbed when I replaced the c-cab with a metal cab extended 6-1/2" as it gets cold here in Durango.

PM me if you're interested.

 

wow, new to the hamb, totally lost on how this works, have some pictures to share but no idea of how to post them here or even get back to messages people send me

 

Tried to post a pic of my c-cab. But for some reason it wont post. Sorry guys.

 

The "silver concept" is actually an old Dan Woods body from the early 70s. I think someone had the mold up for sale a while back.
