Gorgeous trucks in Brazil, I had no idea. I never thought you would have such nice hot rods and the finish is just right for the U.S. More pictures coming?

 

mine is still under construction

 

Thanks,

You can see some more pics of Brazilian Hot Rods in my thread here:

Ricardo, thank you...that was a real treat looking at all those nice hot rods. Sometimes in the USA, we think we are the only ones doing things but your pictures really show Brazil is right on the same path as us.
Thank you again.

 

Hello fellow effie owners, i just got this 53 this week, first time owning one, cool truck to start on, she has a 351w-c6-chevelle front end-ford 9in rear.
The 14in front wheels are too small for me, im thinking on a 15x6, i dont know which size tires yet, but ww with a bullet cone push through cap i think will look good.
Alot of nice trucks on this thread, ok, thats it for now.

 

Picked mine up last week, not planning on doing a whole lot to it besides dropping it and making it go and stop.

 

Nice trcuk you got so far

 

Thanks Tacson, nice 55 you have.

Question time for the Hamb,...do all steel smoothies have multiple mounting holes, i havent seen any that show just the 5 holes.
I would like to get a 15x6 for the front and 15x8 for the rear, powdercoat them black, and with new lugs and a bullet push through cone (instead of spidercaps)so you can see my dilema with the extra holes that would be visible.
Whats your thoughts?

 

Most standard order smoothies have the dual pattern. I think you can get a set with just one pattern. You may have to special order them though. Unless your fortunate you will have to special order anyway for the wheel backspacing.

 

Thanks, maybe i'll look into oem steel, but the chevy front-end will probably give me a problem, unless they look alike, but its not first on things to do, so more searching.

 

Help!

My truck needs to be vin verified, and the plate looks good in the glovebox, BUT....the mounting screws dont look stock and is missing one.
Who has a 53 that can tell me if stock mounts are metal srews or pop rivits

Thankyou, Robert

 

They were screwed on with metal screws on the 53 not rivited.

 

Thanks 55Mercury, good thing to ask first, now to get some new screws.

 

I love these trucks I just bought one a year ago as well. Im droppin a inline 6 300 in it with a gx35 turbo

 

can you believe someone gave this to me.....if you look past all the rot ,rust dirt,dents damage and lack of motor, trans and numerous other missing parts she's a real peach.

 

Heck yeah! I'd a brought it home.

Later,Bill

 

updated pic of mine

 

Here is an update to my 49 that Im building for my daughter. Hopefully she will like it.

Still need exhaust ran and a windshield and to start repairing the cancer in the fenders. Got a long way to go.

NOT HAMB friendly but oh well... chopped 6 sectioned 6 channeled 6, jag rear, 262 ford six with a three speed.

 

Now that's unique...a floor jack as a hood latch

 

I think you can get those from Summit.

 

Here is a picture of my 57 F100 I plan to change the wheels and lower it a few inches. It is also getting a 302AOD combo and run the snot out of it this summer with my 2 little boys rideing shotgun!!!
