1931 Ford Model A

flathead V8

Manual

1931 Ford Pickup Roadster Vintage HOT ROD ONLY 2700 ever made in 1931 All original steel and never restored or patched Old Hot Rod from California build in the 50s Still has the original 1954 issued California plate, last tag was 1964. They used a 1939 Ford Flathead, with a 1939 3 speed trans and a banjo rear end. They did split the front wishbones and also installed a drop axle with 1941 juice brakes. The guy I got it from found it in California and then sold it to me. It wasn’t road worthy when I got it. I received the truck and started going through the driveline (changing all fluids, checking what needed to be done.) Driveline was very nice and clean, didn’t need much. I did replace the generator with a one wire alternator and also replaced the distributor to a Mallory to eliminate problems. All brakes where gone thou and all parts needing replace were. Master cylinder was replaced. All frontend bushings and bearing were replaced. Also new kingpins, tie rod ends. There is still a little slope in the steering box. The front spring was replace do to it being sacked out form sitting for years. All wiring was replaced do to a very hungry mouse. There is only headlights and a tail light. No power anything. This truck is now in great mechanical shape. Drive anywhere.. Body is all original steel except the 32 ford grill. That was added at some time. There is also a 32 ford Radiator. The body does have the common rust at the bottom of doors and cowl. Under seat also has some small holes. All other metal is not rusty. I do have the patches if needed. The wood in the bed was replaced do to it being dry rotted and I didn’t want to lose my cooler. Doors open and close very nice. Fuel tank is being used to feed the Stromberg carb. All fuel lines were also replaced. I do have to original top frame but it will need to have new top installed. Inside is very simple, just black vinyl door panels and kick panels. The seat is mounted to the original seat frame. The steering wheel is out of a 39 Lincoln. This is a True time Machine. Tried to put back on the road without updating to much. This truck will only be listed once on EBAY. I’m not going to relist. If it doesn’t sell it will be in Minnesota for the Back to The Fifty’s show June 22 and 23. Truck can be seen in Mukwonago WI 53149 and will also have to be pickup there. I can deliver to the Back to the Fifty’s show. I can help load on hauler if needed. This truck is a big hit everywhere it goes. No Trades. I don’t want your Harley, AMC Marlin, etc. If needed I can send more photos of now and when I received the truck. Send me your email. THANKS AND GOOD LUCK. 262-470-6696 On May-22-12 at 19:30:54 PDT, seller added the following information: Added a BUY IT NOW price do to alot of people asking... The reserve is set much lower.
