junkyardjeff Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Took a junk 2 door sedan body and cut the roof off at the rear to make it kind of look like a ute,it was built with all junk parts I had in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixties Sam Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Very nice and creative conversion, Jeff! I made a 40 Ford truck like that way back in the 1960's, except I cut the body completely off and used a bed and rear fenders from some other pickup kit (53 Ford maybe?). Yours looks better than mine did!Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorkChopPaws Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I love looking at and reading these stories. Reminds me of being a kid and having fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 (edited) I used the back of the cab from a 53 p/u to close it off and gave up on it a couple times,AMT body and sedan delivery interior and a Lindberg chassis and fenders. Phase II is to build a utility trailer out of a truck bed to hook to it Edited November 19, 2017 by junkyardjeff added more words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkyardjeff Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 It might have been easier to do one like that and I found out I had a p/u bed I could have used but its now going to be made into a trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefordgalaxie Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 It has a very Ute feeling to it, something Ford could have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
