Name that truck.....

This is a picture from the late 1930's. My grandpa is the little boy. His older brother is at the wheel. What is that truck?

I see the "A" pillar is cut away. Any ideas at all?

 

[femurphy77]

Given that Ford probably had the highest production numbers I'm taking the safe route and betting Ford

Looks like about a 1930ish Ford AA pickum up truck. Judging by the cowl...

Thought along this line. But that would be an "A" yes..??

Check out the wheel bolt pattern. That’s the big dog 1 1/4 ton truck, I believe. Looks like someone either shortened the frame, or ordered it cab/chassis. Interesting rig. Way cool photograph!

Damn his is a wild ride. Watched 4 cars go off today at gateway. One is one of our friends in his first lap. Car was fixable and his codriver took it out in the afternoon session. Drove 6 hours to Tulsa to have ****s of bourbon with Travis Pastrana, drink a beer while using a 911 turbo as a leaning post while being served out of a c6 only to do this all tomorrow again. ****in a.

Sounds like great times and good memory's

Put a couple hundred miles on the new engine this weekend without any problems, so that’s encouraging.

Parts for the 64 are rolling in. The "New" owner is excited.
I am some what sad but in the end things always seem to come around the way they should.
