Can full fendered Model A trucks be cool??? Pictures???

Hey guy's, I have a lead on a 1930 model a truck, it's been completely restored, a while back, and I could get it for relatively cheap.
I've been looking at some other threads, such as this http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=268179&highlight=model+truck, and couldnt really find any, cool, full fendered closed cab trucks.
Any out there?
If I get it, I was thinking of chooping it 6", adding, a dropped axle, juice brakes, 39 Ford trans and a newer powerplant (y-block, nailhead, or maybe even a flathead), 32 grill shell.
Anybody have pictures, of model a, closed cab trucks???
Thanks, Chris
I need inspiration

 

How about the grasshopper by the alexander bros? It's about the best example I can think of.




Flt-Blk on here has a cool one.

 

Model A closed cab pickups are cool but they are small and cramped in stock form. A 6" chop would make it even tighter. I have lower the seat in mine almost 4" to get some head room and want to move the seat back further back to get a little more room. I think they look great with fenders. People must have been shorter in the 30's.

 

Yeah a 6" chop might be little pushing it.



The Grasshopper is actually pretty awesome

 

Thats for sure about space.Thats why I like the 29s cause the cab is left over T parts and the cab is high. Not much you can do to make more leg room cause the seat is fastened to the rear of the cab. Had a friend in Sarasota, Fla. that let me use his 31 Pk Up when I was visiting. Going from a 29 to a 31 was very noticable and made my 29 seem very big.

 

Here is a picture I took at Bonneville this past August. I talked witht he father and son that put it together and then drove to Bonneville. They had just finished before taking the trip.

It is probably the nicest example of and early pickup I have ever seen, sounded great and obviously ran good also.

 

I can't find big pictures of it but Hamber BrianAngus has a very nice 31A Full fendered RPU with a carson top called the Wild Canary. That is certainly a look to aim for if you ask me. He's done a very good job with it.

Anybody else???

 

Not a Model A but Bobs is Damm Cool..





I love Full fender trucks

 

here's mine

 

i always thought this truck was pretty slick
no mine by the way.

 

Here is a pick of mine, its a duce not an A. not the best picture but its all i got for now. the rear tire is as if it were on the ground and the front tire goes up about 3-4 more inches

 

as for chopping...if you cut the back of the seat down so your shoulderblades actually touch the back of the cab, you would be amazed how much room it gives you ...I'm 6'0 and was driving a 32 pick up that was chopped 4 inches and channeled 2...this was a comfortable ride....for what it's worth ...

 

Is that a 32, I cant even tell.

Love that one for sure

Excellent, how much chop???


It seems like, there arent that many out there.

 

This is my ol' model A back in the early 70's HRP

 

hey chris, here is a couple. i have a bunch of pictures of fendered pickups but i need to upload them to photobucket.

 

Thanks, you are building one, right???

 

I think the answer is YES.

This was at the Jalopy Showdown this year, belongs to a member of THEM!

 

yep, i sure am. there is a link to the project in my signature. here are a few more.

 

Enlighten me, are there two different style beds on the the 30-31 models, one is real shallow and the other one is deeper? Just an observation, from looking at the pictures above.

 

They made 2 for Model A's,,the normal bed and a wide bad,,,

I have also noticed several trucks posted are 32's and 33/34's,,,some of those could be causing some confusion. HRP

 

Please let me help you all these pics are fake no matter what you do please give me all the info on that truck for sale

 

Hmmm, I wonder....any relation to Mr. Norm Krause?

 

yeah some of them are 32-34 but i figured it would give an idea of what could be done, style wise.

 

hell yeah there cool trucks to build, doin one myself.........some of thes shown are 32's....can be confusing until you learn the differences........

 

Is this a HAMBers truck?

 

im pretty sure it is. most of the pictures i have are from posts here.

 

I think my 29 was cool as well as my 31.
