The 1933 Ford Pickup with a homemade oak bed before the project begins.
The x-member is pretty well hacked up so we decided to replace it.
Here is Craig making the frame modifications and making ready for the new x-member.
The cab needs a little TLC to get the lines right.
After the oak dash was removed, we can see that the wiring needs to be refreshed.
We removed everything from under the dash area and started to test fit the new dash panel.
We will fabricate an upper and lower panel for the dash to give is a custom look.
The firewall is from Bitchin Products, but is riddled with holes that we will correct.
We welded up all of the holes that were not needed and scuffed it up with the DA.
We cut a sheet of stainless to attach to the lower firewall. We still need to cut for the trans tunnel, steering column and booster. Once all is cut out, we will wet sand and polish.
The truck body finally arrived from Mac's Antique Auto Parts.
The bed looks exact in every detail!
We will more than likely modenize the tailgate latches. These are notorious for chipping paint.
This is a shot of the new X-Member welded into place.
We can't wait to see it with fenders and running boards.
We need to do a little more work on the frame and then we can bolt the body and cab to the frame. Once this is done, we will fit the fenders and running boards.
We are making an overhead console to house the radio and some storage areas.
