Custom built bobber style truck frame by Riley Automobile. Owner Eric is a great guy to work with and his frames are hand down one of best out there.
The front end is 4" dropped and drilled I beam axle, spring on top. Tie rod behind the axle where it belongs.
The Posies paralell spring kit is meant to give you a nice ride.
As you can see this chassis will set that old cab down low. Fits under the cab in a channeled fashion, but retains the stock floor/subrails.
Cab was mounted using wood and rubber mounts for additional comfort.

* Gauges work and have been rebuild to work with 12 volts.
Fuel float included as it was matched to work with the gauge, in case you want to install a traditional fuel tank.
Temperature gauge also rebuild and complete.

*Picture is a model A steering but it was built and mocked up with Banjo steering wheel. Banjo Steering wheel not included with the sale.
*The steering column and Vega box are connected and work beautiful. Very easy and soft to turn.
SOME ADDITIONAL INFO
* Truck and frame were mocked up and meant for a Ford Flathead 59Ab motor with an S10 T5 transmission and an Offenhauser adapter. I wanted to keep as traditional as possible but reliable too.
If you use the same you should have no problem fitting it in as thefirewall/motor mounts were configure for that application. Any other set up I am unsure of it.
It should be very easy to install any other motor/transmission set up as it has a universal transmission mount.
* There is no electrical on the truck
* The last 3 pictures show the T5 and 59AB mocked up in place.
The last pictures shows the relationship between pedals,T5 Shifter and emergency brake (This was a progress picture). Picture before last shows the lakester headers' current condition after being coated.
* The lakester headers and baffles are included. Again, perfect for a 59AB. These were custom made to fit perfectly around the frame, steeringcolumn and yet sit very tight to the body.
* A set of newly black powder coated Ford wire Wheels are included (Not Pictured). Wheels are 17". The wheels were fully sand blasted and powder coated black.
Truck was mocked up with the idea of 17x550 up front and 17x750 for the rear. The plywood wheels were cut to that size.
* Included is a custom made car cover for the truck. Not pictured but included.
* Ask any questions prior to bidding. If additional pictures are needed just ask...ebay only lets me add 24 pics
* I am sure I am missing a few things in here so I will add as I remember.
* Mileage listed is notaccurate. Onlylisted forbay's purpose.
