I just thought I would post up a pic of my model a project. Here is my cab, it is 100% original steel. I tore the cab apart and got all the rust out of the seams, here is the cab back together with new wood installed. I will post up a new pic in the next day or 2, the cab is painted now and it is mounted on the chassis. The truck is hot rodded.
I built a 29 Ford Tudor sedan from the ground up in the 90s. It was a fun project. I went with a Progressive Automotive front MII crossmember with rear mounted R&P steering, a Speedway motors disc brake kit, and a Maverick 8 inch four bar rear with Spax coilovers, SBC and 700-R4 with cruise, tilt, Vintage Air, and Ron Francis wiring. I always wanted to do a Model A pickup...good luck with it
Great looking so far. I've just finished a 29 for my wife. It's her driver. Ours is 90% original metal. I had to buy a new set of splash aprons,a new U-channel for the bed and a new Front panel for the bed. A couple of our friends bought us a New Tailgate at SEMA. Other than that it is all restored original steel. Took me 5 1/2 years. Running a 351 Windsor with an AOD tranny.4.10 rear gears in an 8" Ford out of a Maverick Grabber. Translates to about 2.85 final drive in Overdrive. 2330 RPM @ 70MPH. Original frame, boxed and a Mustang II from a real Mustang II not aftermarket. Tubular uppers and lowers A 4 bar on the rear with coilovers. I know how much fun and head bustin you can have building yours. Best of luck and I hope to see more of it soon. Tbucket
And IS it gonna have a Hemi? Theres a roadster '28 pickup with a tunnel ram Hemi that rolls around my town on Friday night Krusin and that thing is WICKED!!!!

At which point we'll all want to come over and use your stuff.
Bah. You can get good enough results from five gallons of bondo and a six pack.
I have a '32 Dodge PU in close shape as your truck...and is similar with the square cab sides/etc...I'm on the fence as to chop 4 or 5 inches out of it, or run it as-is.
It is a 350/350 combo. Original boxed model A frame, 4" dropped axle 4 bar in front, pete and jakes ladder bars with coilovers in the rear. All original sheetmetal. 40 ford gennie wheels 15x5 and 15x7's, walker radiator with A/C condenser. I drove it on the trailer the other day and carried it to get the exhaust ran.
Where are you located? I snapped this pic last year at the Santa Clara Valley (Silicon Valley to the rest of the world) Model T Ford Club Endurance Run and Lowland Tour last June in San Jose. Lots of Model A's show up since it's a joint venture between the Model T & A.... Uhhh where was I??? Oh yeah Model T AND Model A clubs. They're going to run it again this June, like every year since like '66 or so.
