Pics of the progress on My A pickup

Well I got it rolling this weekend so here are some of the pic of the general theme "Low Midwest style" The cab and box are just sitting on it and need to be shimmed and little less angle on the box, otherwise I am happy. The wheels will be 16" 36-39 ford and it is getting a y-block with 3 deuces. Cab is chopped 3" the frame is stepped 10" in the rear and 4 inches in the front hidden behind the cowl. Got the motor mockup and in just no photos yet...

Comin' along nicely!
I'm completely JEALOUS!

Low Midwest Style? What, are ya gunna put put skis on it?

 

Ummm, its called MidwestLow.

And the truck looks pretty good.

 

Do you really want it that LONG? If it were mine, I'd shorten it about 2 feet, but that's just me.

 

sounds good to me a thumbs up

 

Looks good....On the road by spring???? To

 

Awesome man keep us posted!

 

Looks cool. Can't wait for more pics.

 

I think it's cool too,
but turning might be an issue.

Sweet Georgia Brown, so nice to see a project update in the dead o' winter. Nice progress, Lucky!

 

Thanks for the kind words...

Southfork it looks long but once I post pics with the motor in it the frame doesn't look that bad. The frame is 7 inches over stock, but I am looking to keep the firewall flat with no recess. Course, when a truck is a bit over 4 feet tall at the roof and whole truck is 13.5 ft long it starts looking to long too. I hate shortened boxes on an A and need the leg room in the cab. I like it so thats all that actually matters.

Zibo the turning radius will be a bit wide, happens with a suicide front. Also looks goofy with the fat tire on the front they were just used to roll it around. I will just do power slides in all the corners...

Thanks all and I will show more progress in a few weeks. And ya I am hoping to get this "Death Rod" on the roadlate spring early summer.

 

Makes me want to go out and chop my pickup. Great stance!

 

Iceberg I don't know, your truck looks pretty sweet the way it sits...

 

Hey Grim Thanks...
Don't worry about it I don't know if you noticed but I got plenty of things to keep me busy on this project...
