'34 Pickup - Chopped, Fenderless, Flathead, Etc...


Recommended Posts

Hot off the bench is this little '34 Pickup I've been working on, off and on, for over a year. Chopped the top, shortened the bed and raised the floor, shortened and Z'd the frame, Ala Kart suspension/wheels/tires all around, cobbled together hot flathead and exhaust, '50 truck dash, '37 truck wheel, pleated buckets. Paint is Tamiya TS55 Dark Blue with semi-gloss clear.

What's the finned water-pump / engine mount / timing cover from?

That's a neat part and it's from AMT's '41 Woody street rod. It has a molded-on HEI style distributor cap which I cut off and carefully drilled the tube to take a pre-wired distributor. The engine, finned heads and headers are also from the '41 Woody. The induction it comes with is a funky rear-facing twin throttle body fuel injection with cone filters and what looks like port injectors. I believe it is based off of a real setup that Posies made for one of their creations/abortions years ago.

The intake is a Model Car Garage resin Offy with some parts box carbs and scoops. The fan and pulley setup is from the flathead in AMT's '53 Pickup with a parts box alternator.
