Hot Rods My latest project '34 PU channeled

A man of few words!

 

A picture's worth a thousand words, right? That's three thousand words worth right there. Ha!

 

I will be channeling a '34 P/U this weekend, open a door and post a pic of what I am in for!

 

Is it channeled? Looks like just a stepped frame. Great idea

 

Is that a 2x6 rectangular tubing frame with a notch for the cab? I've got to learn how to do a frame for my 34

 

From firewall forward are ASC '32 rails, from the firewall back is custom 2x4 with an 8" kick up.

 

very nice! thank you

 

Hope this helps.

 

What the hell...now that I actually dug up these old pics..here's more...might do some good.

 

fleetside, how much step up do you have in the rear?

 

You know, I actually forget... 9" maybe...looks about the same as Mr. Scrapula's version. I can tell you that the channel is 5-1/2" & a 3" chop. Count, I hope you're not over 6 feet.

 

That's just a minnie channel, don't know if that counts Count!
The frame I am working with is also a ASC '32 till the back of the cab than a horrendous 2x3 kick up. I will have to channel cab to bottom of frame 51/2" or 6". Thanks to all for posting pic's.................

 

How about a 3.5 inch chop and a 9 inch channel! Dude that built this back in the 60's is 6'3". No frame step.-MIKE

 

The original sub rails in these trucks are 1,1/4" thick. By taking them out and channeling another 2,3/4" I got a 3" channel over a 4" frame. I only lost 2,3/4" of leg room. I'm planning on doing between 2"-3" on the chop for a total of about 6" leg and headroom combined. Not too bad....

 

Probably the only good part on a Vega.

 

Playing around with bed placement a little tonight.

 

Haven't had time to get in the shop in quite a while, but I did manage to get some bars replaced in my insert.

 

How long is your bed?

 

Bed sides are '34 shortened to 56" with wheel centered.

 

Model A wide bed, curved top, front panel.

 

Any updates?

 

Not really. This is long term project. I hardly get anything done the last quarter of the year. It's kinda gotten mothballed at the moment cause I'm trying to get a new daily ('54 Chevy) on the road.

 

Nice

Jim

 

I'm using an original '32 grill shell that came off an old channeled hot rod, but it's gonna sit a little higher on my truck so I'm gonna have to patch the bottom. Anybody have an old ragged out shell that's good for patch panels or does somebody offer something aftermarket?

 

I bought my shell off eBay for $159 ... be good as patch panel material..lol
