All the wooden frame work was rotten, So... I replaced it all with a custom formed, tubular steel framework. I wanted a pickup cab that had abundant leg room ( I'm 6' 4" 200 lbs.)

sunnybaba Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 Jpage... HAMB will not accept my posting , because it is Not a Traditional Hot Rod... and it is not stock... I tried. It doesn't fit in any category that I have heard of.... It is just a practical, 'vintage' looking pickup....... Easy to work on and easy to get parts for.... and fun to drive and spread the happiness & smiles.......😊 Here is another one... I built and sold 8 years ago ... same 4 cylinder engine, 4X4 and 5 speed..... Second photo, it is on a 2,000 mile trip pulling a Gypsy Wagon camper I built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
