Junk yard '34 pickup shop truck build

A couple years ago I struck up a deal with a customer and the owner of the local junk yard to buy a real decent '34 Ford truck. The truck was buried deep in the back of the junk yard so I've been waiting patiently to get it out. I sold the front fenders & grill to the previous customer while the truck was still crammed in the yard to lighten some of the initial cost of the truck.

I've been collecting parts & am getting started on some things I can do now... I'm still waiting for the truck but there has been action on moving it out!

 

Looks solid. What are plans for fenders, hood grill, then?

 

helicopter airlift...

 

get some buds, a few pickup trucks and few trailers and take it out one part at a time..

 

None, oh except for a grill of course. I've got another '34 commercial grill but I'd rather run a '32 commercial or something. I might do something a little different with the '34 grill.

 

Thought about it. He supposta be getting it out soon. He's been doing allot of moving around.

 

Looks really solid down low

 

Nice Find!

 

Rent some construction scaffolding for both sides of the fence, get two or three helpers. You could remove the doors to make it lighter but not necessary. It's never going to be a high priority of the salvage owner. Nospartsman

 

Does this 57-60 have a chrome rear bumper?

I need to find some junk yards like that in Maryland!

 

Whats on the other side of the fence?,,I looks like you could just remove a few panels and pull it out. HRP

 

Nice 34. I saved a 33 1 1/2 ton truck also and it was in great shape, perfect subrails. Most of the 1 ton and up are in much better shape than the 1/2 tons. Probably cause they sit so damn high off the ground.

 

Yup, second that. Get those panels moved and pull it thru!

 

I waited 10 years for a junky to 'get to" a '34 Vicky, Yard was next to a river, He died, state got the property for back taxes,, dredged the river, pumped the sand all over the yard, covering up hundred of cars from the 20's to the fifty's. BUMMER,

Get it as soon as they say "You can have it, find a way"

old hot rodder,,

 

Get a track hoe on the other side of the fence lift her outta there.

 

This might be what we end up doing.

The owner of the wrecking yard is a fellow Hot Rodder & friend. I trust 'em. I've also got the title.

 

That sucks!

 

Your title made me think of a Junk Yard '34 pickup model I built.

 

Excellent work!

 

...that must be one big 56 Ford those parts came off of!

 

Bitchen, I just sold a '55 crown Vic. That kinda fits me indeed!

 

Is that at TeePee?

 

I was thinking the same thing..it looks damn solid. On the door it says "gross," but it definitely is not. Good score...keep us updated.

 

Get it asap...those doors will grow legs!

 

Indeed, the place where all your dreams come true!

 

AAAUUUaaw . . . . . . You re FUCKen BAD Dude , thats bad ASS!!!!!

 

1934 Ford pickup is the best looking pickup ever. It's the 34 Roadsters of Pickups. Completely stock 1934 Body. Shit, I'd go stock chassis Too. Well regular chasiis.

 

I definitely don't have that kind of patience... I'd find a way to start digging it out once the deal was made

 

Mine lives in New Zealand now. My dad had a half dozen growing up.

Funny, growing up in the 70s/80s, my dream 34 p/u was chopped, bed too, SBC, Jag Rear, Kugel Front, wheels . . . . I remmber I did always liked stealies w/ hubcaps & buety rings & it was just so Grandpa like, might as well run stock Model A wheel too, but new modern wheels were coming out & big 17's was the latest craze in the end of the 80s but I remember I've aways liked stealies & wires. And . . . THEY CAME BACK! LIFE IS GOOD!!!


sorry for going off on a tangent
