SHOP UPDATE: Project For Sale 1935 chopped Ford pickup









The truck is an early 35, it has the rare doors. I have all the garnish molding for the doors and interior. The cab has been chopped 5 inches and channeled 6 inches. I welded in a piece of roof from a 58 Ford for the ribs. The engine is a very nice running 59A Flathead. The trans is a 39 fully synchronized trans. The rear axle is a 35 banjo, the torque tube and drive shaft has been shortened and balanced to move the rear axle forward. I have a flattened rear crossmember to finish the rear end install. The front suspension consists of a new 4 inch drop front axle, new super slide front spring, new stainless shock mounts, pins and shackles. The frame is an original 35 frame, it has been stretched 10.5 inches in the front, boxed and a 32 front crossmember added. The rear frame has been pie cut and z'd up for clearance to get it down low. The rear frame needs some finish welding and boxing. I have a bunch of small parts like the clutch and brake pedals, clutch linkage, new flywheel, etc
