Before and after pictures of my 33 Ford. I drove it into town last week when the weather was warm. I hope to have time to paint it this summer. Mostly stock with a 49 flathead with Isky cam and headers.View attachment 187511View attachment 187514

It is not difficult to picture John Dillinger cruising the back roads of the Midwest in that machine.

I spent a year looking for a square body truck in decent condition to replace my '88 chevy pickup. Prices were insane, and we ended up buying a 92 that was from Florida with zero rust. That's my back up for when the roads aren't good.

That looks like a home built. What is the body?

Pretty certain it`s a `29 International .........Can`t find any info that they made a double cab in that era ?
The stock `29 is one Cool looking Truck ........

I have thought about the OBS era but they don't hold any sentimental value for me. I was long done building trucks at the Flint Chevy truck plant by the time the OBS years hit.

I have seen some nice ones though.

Yeah her S/S is a monster out of the hole. She gets me about 3 car lengths on take off then I close it quick.
They are a close match the Shelby is a rocket after 2nd gear. Ford did that to protect the transmission.

She normally gets me by a nose.

Or do you allow this to happen.
Happy wife and all that…,

Mike, are you using a smog pump to build the crank case pressure up?

One of my brothers had a '70 'Cuda, 440, 4-speed. It was a monster.

Probably a vacuum pump to remove excess crank case pressure. Then has another hose to a small catch can to collect oil sucked in.

Ok, that makes sense, the Motorcycle sized air cleaner threw me off. Thank you.

Not often you see an alternator on a straight axle gasser either.

If it has modern electronics running the engine the alternator is a must. They run better with a constant 14V supplied.
