40 Ford restoration

[junkyardjeff]

I built it in the spring of 74 stock and must have took it apart and added different wheels and stuck in the motor from the 53 p/u kit a few years later,the rear bumper got broken off so I picked up a new chassis that will be going on and will put the stock rims on but with big and little tires and the 390 motor from the 34 p/u kit. I still had the optional Olds motor but it got used last year in a coupe and who knows where the original flathead went too,going to repaint the interior and not touch the body.

Is that a ute in the background?

Its a home made p/u that kind of looks like a ute.

    It looks very Ute to me also.  Nice job on that!!

Starting to look like a car again and fitting the 390 motor from the 34 p/u kit,going to paint the motor as a 58 332 and go with a single 4 bbl if I can find a period air cleaner. Those tires are what I put on it in the late 70s and two were those awful two piece tires,I am thinking I brush painted the body but see no streaks in the paint and will not repaint the body.

There is a build thread on the ute looking 40 under home built 40 p/u.

True, real utes have the window in the c-pillar. Still, pretty spiffy.
