Always bothered me that I could not post a picture maybe now I got it.

What you should see is truck as I got it and how it looks now and my vacation pictures when I needed a break.

Beautiful Nice job. Wow! That's quite a bike ride! Your rear spring set up with the quick change is awesome. Could that also be done on a stock 1940 Ford car frame? Tell us more about what and how you did it.Be sure and mount your electric fuel pump on rubber bushings.
Thanks.

19Fordy thanks for the kind words, the electric pump is mounted with some rubber bushings to the bracket, came in the kit. I tried to use the stock mount but the truck would sit way too high so I figured the difference and welded in the rear crossmember to achieve the stock ride height, It can be done on a car frame as well. I needed to use a model A spring to clear the rear end so ride would not be affected. The quickchane unit is a Rodsville housing the axles and housings are 40 that had new sleeves installed for the drum bearings to ride on, the center section was put together with 3:78 ring and pinion. I ended up turning and sleaving the pinion shaft because I wanted to retain the Ford tapered bearings instead of the ball bearings the quickchange units use. I believe the tapered rollers offer more strength and rigidity than ball bearings at the expence of more drag with the timkens. The bike ride was a little over 11,000 miles round trip from Upstate NY to Alaska and back took 6 weeks. Met some wonderful folks and saw some nice old Fords on the trip. I did all the mechanical work, body and interior, gauges were sent to Baxter and I did have it painted locally never did learn the secret of that. Jon

Nice looking truck. Especially like it with the look as Henry built it - without whitewalls.

Hi Everyone, Something I noticed...

The forum software seems better at resizing our larger images. I just noticed it sized mine down to 800x600 in .JPG format, no matter what size it was when I uploaded it. An improvement? It seems so.
