Description for Ford Model A 19310000

First off, am listing this for a friend and ALL comments or concerns are to be made to Joe @ 414-761-0968. I am the listing the ad going off of what has been told to me by the owner.Please look at the 40+ pictures and take the time to appreciate the work involved. Now the vehicle....Have you ever been driving on a country road and see the old abandoned car or truck in a field or next to a barn and wondered if anything could be done with it? If so then this is what is possible. This truck started life as a 31 model A ford sedan. It was trailered back from the dead and put in the hands of a long time body man with a talent for his fabrication and resurrection abilities. The body was cut to make a truck cab, hanneled 4" to cover most of the frame and the top was chopped. The box was shortened to as shown length and a custom steel floor was made with a door for the hidden fuel filler. The frame was fabbed from 2"/4" square tubing and c-notched in the rear over the 8" rear end. The rear also has 1946 split bones and tube shocks all around. Steering the truck is a 50's style shoebox steering wheel and column attatched to a F-100 steering box. The car stops via '40 ford juice brakes and the master cylinder is under the driver floor. Powering this truck is an all rebuilt chevy 283 with a turbo 350 automatic transmission. A custom air cleaner from an old chevy was made to fit on top of the 4 barrel carb. It starts right up with a few pumps of the gas and drives- handles well. It has all its glass in working order as is the flip out front window. All major bodywork has been done and you will notice the attention to detail such as the rounded and lengthened cab by a few inches as the gentlemen it was built for was over 6' tall. Also the subtle touches continue with how the front portion of the cap has a notch in it to sit over the frame. The frame and front end is all painted gloss black and looks great. The truck was given a patina look with primer. It would take a round of final block sanding to prep this truck for paint if one desired. Overall this is a turn key hot rod that can be used right away as is, r slowly one could make updates to it such as paint or interior etc. Hundreds and hundreds of hours were invested to make this vehicle the way you see it today. This truck has had ALOT of investment put into it which the owner is reluctantly willing to absorb to move on to another project. Truck is located 90 miles north of Milwaukee and 30 miles north of the IL border. Sale Terms and Conditions Please let the 40+ photos of this truck make you comfortable with a purchase.
