1928 Ford Model A Modified Custom Built Roadster Pick Up

1928 Ford Model A Description

This is a fully custom Fabricated Ford Roadster pick-up project that I can no longer complete for health reasons. The project started as a fully running (and registered in my name) C-cab truck, before I started to make the modifications. The 1928 frame is fully boxed and reinforced with a 4" kick up in the rear and has also been stretched to give it a more european look, or that of a lakes modified RPU. Many of the suspension components are either original Ford or new Speedway parts. It has disc brakes up front and drums in the rear on a Camaro rear axle. The motor is a Chevy 305 that I made sure ran great before I started the build. It has a Turbo 350 automatic transmission that worked great as well. The nose section is a repurposed roof from a '53 Ford Panel wagon. The rear tub section is a repurposed trunk lid from a '53 Ford Customline. The doors are custom steel panels with reinforcement. The bed is custom made of solid oak with a hinged heavy gauge steel trunk cover that also supports the spare tire on top. The gas tank is from an early Beetle. The frame also features square tube structural supports around the cockpit.

The following is a list of things that need to be done to finish the project;

Wiring / Harness, Lights

Plumb Brake lines, E-Brake

Install Fuel lines, Clean gas tank

Fabricate Dash, Install Gauges

Install Floorboards and Seats

Exhaust System, Short tube headers are included

Paint

The car will come with boxes full of various parts to finish the build. This project is a very unique and original build and is a solid foundation to customize to your taste or finish as is. All the heavy work has been done already.

It will come with a Texas Title in my name. The project was purchased in Texas when started, I have since moved back to California and the vehicle will need to be registered and titled in California. Ca. DMV fees about $230, Vin Verification $80, and a Weight Certificate $20 because it's a pick up truck.
