Check out this neat pickup made from a slant window sedan on EBay 281826391417

I like it, but would swap the door handles so they point the correct way. I saw one in Vermont last year that I also liked. 29 cowl with 31 cab. If you are going to drasticly modify a model A, you may as well paint it an outrageous color.

"Complete restoration in 1995". LOL.
I would call it a mild custom.
Still, I like it, its tastefully done. I'm sure it would be fun to own and drive. Might even have a little extra pep, with the B motor.
If it was a lot closer to home, I might even bid on it.
Thanks for the post.

I think it has a CRISP & REFRESHING look & would "pass" to the casual observer as an "original" truck. Looks as though it has MORE leg room, also.

Always wonder why folks put so much work into a vehicle but leave the power plant unfinished.

I like it, too. I think they look great with the later wire wheels. Almost like they were designed for it.

It fools me. Where did they weld on the pickup cab back?

Bob C · 10-13-2015, 02:43 PM

They didn't, that's the back of a sedan.

I generally like the look of the slant windows, but they do look nekked without a visor.

I hope he thought to add extra length to the cab when he made this truck, but it doesn't look like it.

just for giggles I sent a note saying it was nice looking but that Ford never built it and someone might have an issue thinking it was correct.. here is the answer

"The truck is what it is, not being represented as an original, just a ford pick up, the restoration on this included all original Ford parts in the making.
I an letting everyone know who calls and emails.
Most people can see that this is not an original Ford made truck."
