1930 Model A Ford Pickup Truck on 2040-cars

 A classic 1930 pickup titled and in running driving project condition.  I bought the truck with hopes of painting the bed and cab black and installing a dropped axle for a period 40's hotrod look.  The truck could go any direction at this point, either hotrod or close to original with some mechanical updates. Thousands of dollars spent on 5 speed conversion and juice brakes. All work thoughtfully done with quality parts.

The following has been done and all work looks quality:

Drivetrain has been updated with a Auto Restorations 5 speed kit using a nice low mileage  GM t5 transmission. Smooth quiet running stock engine and great clutch. The exhaust is also newly redone

Brakes have been upgraded to juice brakes using stock model A pedals, 39 ford style master cylinder, 41 ford backing plates and drums, new hard and soft brake lines.

Electrical is 6 volt with new battery and upgraded powder coated battery box. the headlights and taillights are not finished wired. I was going to pull the cab and bed and respray before finish wiring.  Engine wiring is complete and starter , alternator and distributor work great.

Wheels are 17" with older gum dipped firestone 5.25/5.50 bias plies. Wheels could use new  paint or powder coat. Overall they are in good condition and tires are  without cracks or leaks.

Fenders are the nicest I have seen on any pickup. The bed is not very wavy with only minor dents inside  and has new oak wood kit with stainless strips.

Cab and doors are in good condition with some bondo in lower cowl. I had plans on fixing with new metal when it was repainted. I think the yellow paint job  should be redone. All glass is great condition and windows roll up and down nicely. Doors close great and hinges are in good condition. No sagging issues with the doors.

Seat has been redone includes excellent frames and springs. Floor has new wood and top is nicely redone

I have lots of money tied up in the pickup and it is well on it's way to being a great driver. The 5 speed ads that needed overdrive and keeps the engine rpms at a comfortable level and the juice brakes are  a must for higher speed cruising. Great project that needs some completion and maybe , just some primer black paint to cover the yellow on cab and bed ( I hate yellow on model A's).

I Live in Coeur d' Alene Idaho and can help with any shippers and overseas buyers welcome. I  have the pickup truck for sale locally and I reserve the right to sell local. Please call with any questions.

Thanks, Ben

Answers to questions? frame started out as a solid original, rust preventative painted and new hardware used throughout. Front and back springs pulled apart, greased then assembled new hardware.

Sacramento vintage ford -MASTER CYLINDER CONVERSION KIT & BATTERY BOX 1928-31 used for juice brake conversion using a 39-52 ford master cylinder.

I have the front wiring new in package and was just going to run a home made harness to rear lights. I also have taillight brackets to run lights on both rear fenders.

Tires are repops from Coker and have been sitting with very little use. A little flat spot on fronts and they need some road time to warm up and round out. Rims are 17"  I believe from 32-33 fords. I was going to buy 7.50  x 17 for rears and run the 5.25 on fronts for a big n little hot rod look.

Engine runs quiet and smooth. I was going to change out the distributor to an electric type , install a Stromberg 97 for better carburation and then the 5 speed could be used to it's fullest. I will include the Large logo 97 in the sale. Engine is fine as is and runs cool.
