New Toy
-
I picked this up Thursday. 1930 Model A Ford Pickup. I have been looking for one for about a year. All I wanted was a decent looking driver to putt around in. This one pushed all of the buttons for me. The weather is supposed to warm up a little this next week so maybe I can test it out.... .

Re: New Toy
Looks great, Leon! Is it as well cared for as it appears to be?

Re: New Toy
Luv it!
I saw this one for sale the other day. 16 grand in Canuck bucks. A long ways from the 750 I could have paid for one like it back in 1970. Working for 4 bucks an hour at the time didn’t help either. And the dream goes on! |

Re: New Toy
Very nice! Never had one that old, I did have a 40 Plymouth coupe when I was a young man.

Re: New Toy
It's beautiful.
Can you imagine crossing the country on rutted dirt roads in that? It's definitely from a different time.

Re: New Toy
"She's a Beaut, Clark" ..... Err, Leon, LOL. Couldn't resist that, sorry, LOL.
VERY NICE, LEON. Great looking condition for a 1930's truck. Love the logo on the side. You need to show that locally when weather permits. Maybe throw in a couple of foam peanut filled "feed sacks" or burlap gunnie sacks in the bed as I remember them being called. Then maybe an old wooden bushel basket or two filled with plastic melons, 'maters, lettuce , onions or such. Would be a crowd pleaser for local parades. Well done there, Sir.  Curious, noticed the plug in extension cord across the running board, that wasn't converted to being an EV was it?

Re: New Toy
Very cool.
I always wanted to hot rod a PU like that but the cab is just too small for me. Have fun it. Does it still have mechanical brakes or have they been converted to juice brakes? |

Nice one Leon. I saw over on the HAMB you were looking for a Model A pickup.

Re: New Toy
Just FYI there is a guy here in Alexandria MN that has built many many Model A's over the years for tech advice. Truly his passion.
If want his details PM me. I will try to find them. I doubt he is any kind of computer guy so it would have to be phone calls. |

Re: New Toy
Leon,
A couple of You tubers very recently posted a video of taking a road trip from Los Angeles to somewhere in Arizona. David Freiberger and the Vice Grip garage guy made the trip. They performed a bunch of work on the Model "A" they took on the trip. They also performed a lot of work on the road, had a bunch of setbacks, but they did complete the trip. It's on the david Freiberger Channel. All of the work they performed would be VERY informative for someone owning a model "A". It is well worth the time!!! Jeff |

Thanks Jeff. I did watch one where just the Vise Grip Garage guy bought a Model A Sedan and drove it 700 miles home. It was quite an adventure. there were quite a few "on the road repair" segments in it too. I will have to watch the one you mentioned. .
