Dennis Lacy Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 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.
zaina Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Good lookin truck A.D.L. I need to get back to my 34 truck build one of these days.
Joker Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Another gorgeous combination. Thanks for sharing/posting.
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Nice proportions, stance, overall looks and bits. I like your steering box mount too. What's the finned water-pump / engine mount / timing cover from?
Dennis Lacy Posted May 26, 2014 Author Posted May 26, 2014 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.
