34 Ford pickup , old Hot Rod , Y-Block ,Heck if I know

Well , I have been searching for a 32 Ford truck for a little while and came across this old Hot Rod . Supposedly first built in 1959 . You ever just buy something before you think it through ??? It's a neat old truck that has been off the road for a few years. It starts and moves but I haven't gone around the block yet .They put a new tank in it and then stopped and put it up for sale as is . Not sure what year or CI the Y-Block is , I was told 55 T-Bird so it would be a 292 . It is mated to the 34 box and stock 34 rear end . They didn't want to cut the firewall so they moved the cab back on the frame about 2 1/2" . From there they put a 32 bed on it because they are shorter in the front . It misses the cab by a few inches . The rear of the bed is shortend by a few inches also . Then they put a 32 3 Window dash in it , F100 box (crude install) ,swing pedals, dropped axle and a few other Hot Rod treatments . Its a very solid truck . No rust I can find , cab corners are solid ,back of cab is solid ,bottom of doors. Someone cutthe inside of the pass door skin and patched it back together . I would love to know what they were after ?? Anyway , We still want a 32 truck and I can't keep them all so heck if I know what I am going to do but it's fun to look at for now .
Check it out

 

Man, I love that thing...

 

Great find!

 

That thing is cool!!!!

 

I'd rock that thing!

 

What's there to think through?
That truck is cool as shit!!!

 

From the description of the changes made, it doesn't look out of proportion like one would think it might. I like it, but I love 34 trucks and Y-Blocks.

 

"fun to look at for now"..yeah for all of us.
Neat old p/u.

 

Awesome truck!

 

I like it, too. That gap between the cab and the bed doesn't look bad; every pick up I've seen ('cept the Cameo and that sorta-unibody Ford) have some sort of gap between the bed and cab. Get it running, fire it up and have fun this summer.

 

I dig it the way it is. I wish i owned it. Enjoy it.

 

Nice score Gent,
That's as close to "perfect" as they come, Enjoy...Nice Truck !!

Very sweet ride, love the y-block, that is a neat piece of hot rod history there!!!

 

Damn that truck is cool.

 

Perfect!!!!

 

Wow what a score.

 

I cannot even comprehend not going around the block, if it runs and moves under it's own power!

I'm kind of in to doing stuff that's not so smart!

Sweet little truck, thanks for sharing!

 

Awesome truck! Congrats, it's a beauty. If you decide you're tired of looking at it, put me in line for a shot at it!

 

Damb.... that is one cool truck!

That truck is BAD ASS

 

I like it, how much $ to take it home ?

 

that dash looks great in there ...cool truck

 

Very cool hot rod truck. Good luck on finding a 32!

 

Nice!

 

Is the price right? If so I would jump all over that. Looks like it could be a good driver fairly quick.
