Projects fixing a smashed 31 model A pickup cab.

Charlie’s got the truck running and registered.

 

looking and sounding good.is charlie camera shy?lets see the sequel,charlie drives off down the road in to the sunset.!!

 

coming soon.
I made the video before I took it around the block. Charlie is going to drive by the shop next week and I will get a video.
the truck drives really well, the steering feels super easy, I think because of the big steering wheel. the motor has a lot of power and pulled hills in second gear. absolutely no squeaks or rattles. only thing we found so far is the speedo reads really high.
more to come....

 

looking forward to it.

 

We need to find Charlie another hinge pin mirror like the drivers side in Hershey this year! Motor sound great.

 

Charlie started another model A build. he sourced a model A frame, traded some work for a set of 40 backing plates and rebuilt a tranny but it is on hold.
our super hero is under the weather.

 

get well soon charlie get the show on the road

 

Charlie is feeling better and back collecting parts for his later project

 

Charlie was here yesterday picking up some parts I donated to the project. He was looking well .

Glad to hear he's feeling better!

 

Charlie is on to the next project. I need to start a new thread.

Please share a link to your new thread, here!

 

Looks great Ted, I like the flare you put in the back fenders. Bob

 

i really enjoyed the fixing up the smashed cab thread,looking forward to the next one.

 

I will post a link to the next one here.

 

I think that is a camera angle thing?

 

Great save! You guys should be proud of the final product!

 

Charlie said this was his favorite build so far. he had the most fun.

I made up a filler panel for the back bed to cover the frame. not sure if I will use this or move the box back and make a filler for the front.
all welded and metal finished.

 

This has been the most enjoyable Thread I've read in a while. Amazing! Thank you for sharing.
I definitely learned some new tricks from this build.

 

glad you have enjoyed it. I have been using the truck any chance I get. it is perfect for running errands.

 

built a trailer hitch
