Default my introduction 34

Hi, I will start by saying that I have been reading a lot on the barn. Wow some of you are incredible and very inspiring to others. Too many people too list. I am currently in the beginning stage of building my 34 ford closed cab pickup "traditional"(after a year of parts gathering). Soon I will start a post on this project. I will be posting some other current projects I will be putting up for sale to help fund the 34 project. Thank you for the inspiration.

Looks like a good project truck. Good luck. I'll help if I can. I did have more than that to start, my first car, bought in 1957, but needed a total rebuild --10 years.
Cheers, Byron W.

Nice project. I built my 35 pickup from parts gathered all over the country. Actually one part came from NZ and another from Germany.

Wow, Thank you for the welcome everyone. For sure that is a great shot out of NV! Our trucks are in similar condition and nice bed! The fun is in the hunt, correct part. For me It started with model A coupe roof and ended up with a 34 cowl, which led to a truck & extra door, found grille, nos roof, located a driver door and cab back. The frame and flathead came little later.
