Projects '33 ford truck

fooling around with colors, wet sanding, to try to make her "look" old.....

 

after modifying the passenger side of the firewall again, the cab is finally centered....now on to the next task.....

 

you've been busy! Looks like it moving along nicely.

 

thanks vthead, she's slowly coming alone....

 

rattle can paint job...1st coat....

 

I know its a 28-29 model a rear fender , but the front fender and running board ,I'm not sure of....

 

my subtle rattle can two tone paint job....

 

Rattle away! Lookin good....hey you are missing a fender

 

fenders & running boards bolted on.....

 

32 front fenders, 33-34 truck fenders has a hump to clear the front cross member. Your Trucks looks great.

 

Looks like the truck I drove when I was in the service back in 65! Looks great.

 

truck is looking good. Lately I have developed a desire for a 32 thru 34 p/u. And the model A rear fender looks right at home. Tom

 

Truck looks great and love the idea on the model a fenders. Looks like you’re going to be driving very soon

 

thanks SPEC, now I know what the front fenders are......

thanks vtwhead....

thanks Tom

thanks continentaljohn.....lots more to do , but I'm getting closer each day to driving her.....

 

question, is the alt. set up to run in that spot ? ... i run mine on the left side but with an A shell the adjuster arm sticks out 1/2" too far to clear the hood... thanks.

 

shorty water pump swap plus aluminum crank pulley and a CVF Racing SBFS1WP-FR water pump pulley ,put me right were I need to be to run a full hood.....

 

she's coming alone, I'm wiring now, so every time I see something else to do on the truck , I do that instead of wiring. I'm getting there slowly. Few wiring issues I'm not sure of so I'll ask my buddy to come over to set me straight..... plus I got a new project, that interferes with my concentration.....

 

Looking good. Wiring can be a challenge at times. Don't forget to add a fusible link.

 

she's almost done.....made it to the 2021 Adirondack Nationals in Lake George Saturday...(9-11-21)

 

Tell us about the 351W. Which distributor are you using? What year, which heads? Roller cam?

 

1971 351w, stock heads, MSD distributor, stock cam

 

I like that, especially over a bored and stroked 302. I'm using a similar 351W (it's a '77 with Edelbrock heads because the stockers were too roached out to rebuild) and an RV cam to power my '29AA. Like you, had to give up some precious leg room to get the engine in and haven't determined how much room I'll have between the water pump and radiator.
