My 30 open cab pick up is finished
 

Hi All,
I thought you might like to see my 1930 open cab pick up. I have loaded some pictures of it as found in 2007, one of the body being done around 2010 and some of it now its finished. The engine I know is the wrong color, but at the time it was the only paint I could get here due to foreign currency shortages and I wanted to get on with my project.
Hope you enjoy see ing my little truck
Regards
Viv

Really nice job-thanks for sharing.

Very nice! I've heard of the problems with getting parts and the cost due to exchange rates being hard to deal with. I visited some Model A owners in south Africa and they talked about it at length. Hope you can get your truck out on the road for people to see.

Very nice indeed! Did you acquire these old Ford projects in Zimbabwe? How difficult are original parts to find locally? Do you order your repro parts from the US like the rest of us? Very impressed with your roadster pickup. mike

It's RHD so unless RHD specific parts are available locally, they can't be obtained. American parts vendors don't sell much RHD. For that reason alone, that is an excellent job of restoration. Congratulations.

Beautiful work.

I am amazed!

Looks great. Can't believe you got it done.

Enjoy your truck.

Great job and thanks for sharing with us. Now enjoy it and drive it!

Normally Model As with a sidemount spare has it fitted on the drivers side I suppose Henry thought it would be easier to change a flat in the street and not in a ditch !!! I cant see if your restored PU has dual sidemounts maybe it has. I have LHD and RHD they have the spare on the drivers side . Your PU is a super restoration and doing it in Zimbabwe must have been a real challenge for sure congratulations . Could be it started life with the spare on that side maybe a special order .

Beautiful truck! Doing a project like this in Zimbabwe no doubt has added challenges. Even more impressive!

Nice work. I am always amazed at how the right handers have all of that stuff packed around the carburetor.

They are "They are never, really. finished" at least I hope not

And it only took you 10 years - that's quick work by my standards. :D I'm especially fond of RPUs and yours is a beauty - well done!
