1935 ford pick-em-up-truck

[robtech]

i've got a ton fo pm asking for pics/details on this so i made a thread...
my 1935 ford truck with 425 buick nailhead, truck sorta for sale (if someone buys it im buying/building a model a)
the truck cab/frame

the engine that will power this beast (or a model a) 1965 buick 425ci nailhead. bored 30 over, petronix ignition, open headers (aka zoomiez), 6x2 log manifold (6 2bbl stromburg carbs with velocity stacks) 1/2" lift cam, all arp bolts/studs, all new seals/bearings etc... should be good for around 400-450hp connected to a manual valve body th400 unless i descide to get an adapter and run a t56 6 speed from a vette...couple engine being built pix (its not done yet)
how i got it
the heads i rebuilt with new high lift springs, valves, seals, 3angle valve job, blasted and painted the factory green

neways basic plan for the truck (if i keep it) is chanel the body over the frame, z the front and noth the living hell out of the rear. not sure about which grill i want to run... slammed on wide whitewalls on the front, and cheater slicks for the rear, bomber seats for the interior, stock looking stewart warner gauges, adjustable 4 link in the rear with coilovers. cowl steering, chop the cab about 5-6 inches...etc...

I see you have a set of M/T valve covers. Do you have any for a sbc? Or any like the finned ones that was on the Motion cars for a small block? Or any that is from the 70's era for that matter?

Give it to me, right now.

I can not wait until I have a garage! A chopped and channeled model a sedan or pickup is in my near future. I was actually shopping for 49-51 Ford shoeboxes this summer. I couldn't find a good one so I ended up buying a my second choice, an E30. :shock:

Perfect:
