'29 Model A pickup estate sale find

A car like this will put you in stitches just hearing other people say, " If it was mine, I would........" Neat truck, Congrats.

 

Nice score. Very cool ride. I agree, for now, gas it up and go as is. As times go by you may change a thing or two.

 

And again, and again.

Hey - any chance you could crawl beneath the rear and take some shots of the wooden blocks that the bed sits on - mine are all missing...

Keep the four and see ya in the Banger monthly threads I reckon!

 

Nice, nice purchase! Your plan's for this pristine survivor? This thread is yet another reason the H.A.M.B. is such a wonderful place to visit.........

 

Flathead V8 C4 dropped axle with juice brakes and drive it....but I like the sound of a flatty.

 

Definitely.

 

I feel inspired!

Now to go get that model a coupe I've been eye'n.


Good score on your truck. Enjoy it like we know you will.

 

Good for you Tim! Nice score....
I love estate sales.....but how'd I miss this one???? I usually hear about all the good one's in the Tacoma area.........haha!
What other stuff was there?

 

Dig up all the history books and old mags you can find and look at the support trucks everywhere in the pits at the lakes and drags...that's the look, and your truck already has it!
In my memory, when I started noticing old cars in the '50's and '60's, the '35 wheels were on virtually 100% of the Model A's.

 

The37Kid, I had done a search a while back and in Rod &Custom found Custom 1929 Model A Tudor. Chassis Engineering axle and spindles ,mated to MT Car Products 40 brake kit. Another article was Bringin up the rear on a 1929 Ford Model A Tudor. Install of the Lincoln rear brake kit, gain by MT. Both very good. I'm not keen with MT master cylinder. I like how Cris installed his in the Coupe project. Check his posts out.

Bruce,That's exactly the look I'm after!Thanks to everybody for the input,(except the one suggestion that I sell it) lol. It looks like juice brakes,a mild drop to lower the stance a bit,and warm the banger a bit is the direction I'm going.I'll post some pics later on. Tim
