1931 Ford Model A Truck Hot Rod on 2040-cars

What a great hot rod! I bought this 1931 Ford Model A Pickup truck about 3 years ago. And just have not driven it like I had planned so I’m selling it   I purchased it out of Texas.  This is not a camouflaged flat black hunk of junk rusty turd rat rod that was thrown together!!!   This is a true hot rod stunner.

 Although I didn’t do the work to it, it’s a newer build with less than 100 miles since the build was finished. The truck has a nice small block Chevy V8 and an automatic transmission, (looks like a turbo 350 to me, but not sure.)  Lots of money spent on chrome.  The frame has been boxed and channeled so it can handle the power of the Chevy engine.  There’s no question this was a frame up restoration.  It has Mustang II front suspension, custom built 4 link rear suspension, Front disc brakes and rear drums.  It has new wheel Vintiques painted rally wheels with chrome centers and beauty rings. 15-10s in the rear and 14-7s in the front.  The console and interior have been fabricated out of good ol all American steel, as opposed to glass.  Lots and lots of hours and dollars have obviously been put into this build. If  you have ever tried to build one of these things, you know how much work and $$$$$$$ it takes! (kinda like building a barbecue…don’t plan to build and eat on Father’s day!!) The truck is about 90% steel, with the front fenders being fiberglass.  The truck has power brakes with the master cylinder and brake booster being under the floor (clean firewall!!!!).  The wiring  is all new with modern electronics, 12 volt alternator, and  newer style fuse box. 

The whole interior (dash, seats, carpet, and door panels), wheels, and tires are like new. The bed is gorgeous Oak with red metal accents and a custom wood box that houses the gas tank.  With flat black paint with custom hand pin striping in cream and red, this truck pops.  The pinstripes compliment the red interior nicely.  A Tan soft top is included in this auction.  I personally think it looks way cooler without it…and way more fun to drive.   It is very easy for one person to take it on and off.  Of course, no hot rod is complete without an “Oogah” horn.  It’s stamped with a Ford Body number of A4700734. I know there’s a way to decode these but not sure how. (not my field of expertise)

 There aren’t too many of these trucks around, and this one is a real head turner. Instead of wasting your summer on trying to build a hot rod, pick this up just in time for the show season!!  The newer engine and transmission mean that it has a top speed over 46 mph… ha ha!  (sorry flat head 4 cylinder) and it’s a pure joy to drive. Please don’t plan on flying in and driving to Maryland…the truck might make it but you won’t! These always need “tweaking” so plan to get it and adjust to your liking.  I have driven this truck less than 20 miles in three years…hence I’m selling it.  I have way too many hot rods and projects.  The only things I have noticed, it may need to be serviced,(all fluids properly checked, as it has been sitting for a while)  and I never have liked the shifter, I like to put Lokar shifters in all my hot rods.   Texas clean title reads 1931 Ford PK.  Don’t let this get away!!!!
