It's a 33 Ford with a 53 Dodge hemi engine, 4 spd. Richland trans, original Columbia Two-Speed rear axle out of a 1940 Ford, 39 Lincoln Zephyr front brakes, six-pac of Stromberg '97' carbs, stock interior. Was painted in the mid 1970s. The car was originally hotrodded by installing a 283 Chev and a PowerGlide. I got it from a guy that took it completely apart and redid the firewall to put in a Buick 'Nail head' engine. As i happed to have a little Dodge hemi I installed it. I put it back together but left the old paint alone....it's good enough. Has Bias Ply Firestone tires on early 16 inch ford steel wheels with 38 Mercury hub caps [it would be ignorant to put East LA radial tires and goofy alloy wheel on an old survivor hot-rod from the 70s].

Do not judge me, I just dragged it home.
This is a treasure from a friend's yard.

66 C10, dump bed, 327 4 speed runs good.
Rare power steering and power brakes. No AC, but this was the first year AC was available.

I am looking for a hydraulic lift gate to load the kayaks and mini bikes to take to Mini Mayhem next year.

My dad has a '65 C30, 292 straight 6, dump bed that would be sweet to resurrect.

I had a 65 c30 back in the 80's. That thing had a small 6 in it, was slow as a turtle, but it felt like it would pull a house. This V8 66 with a dump bed should be handy around the property. We are talking about building a stake bed camping cabin on top of it.

Dang I like that Dave.

And it already runs good, that is great !

Just put back on those other body parts and y'all are ready to roll.

 

[sparkwizard]

I think I might need to disassemble the bodywork on the bed and install all of it one piece at a time onto the front. It is all pretty heavy and fragile to be moving in one piece.
Not too happy about that.

What is the old delivery van? I like that!

It's a 1959 IHC Metro. It first came into the family when dad bought it in about 1967. I rode all around in it standing in the passenger side door well with the door open. Good memories!

 

[sparkwizard]

Great history!
There is a similar project listed locally. I did not know what it was.

Nothing wrong with that endless possibilities. 4bt turbo diesel makes good useable power and good mpg.

Maybe you missed the part where it said 327CID Small Block Chevrolet.

Don't be ashamed of that LOL. I've been on the hunt for a 50's-60's heavy truck to drop down and do a rat rod theme.. that thing is cool as hell...

Saw the 327 CID. Depending on what your intended use is swapping to a diesel maybe beneficial to your outcome.

I do respect your opinion.
My idea of motivation includes gasoline fumes and RPM. While I do have experience with diesel and I do understand the torque might be required in certain industries, I believe in using gearing and revs to achieve my goals.
However, I do know where there is a Detroit V6-53 for sale...

If you happen to have 9 Grand + lying around.

Apologies. I couldn't resist the temptation.

Building a reliable work truck does not include trying to break driveline parts.

I am running into some drama with the squatter who is waiting for a title in the mail. She claims she needs a truck to drive right now. I agreed to trade my running 89 4x4 for this truck when she gets the title. She seems to think she can use my truck while I get this one put back together for her or some equally false idea.
I towed it back to my buddy's place, where he is trying to have her evicted for not paying rent. If she leaves it there, I might try again.

Another of the cars at this address: 53 Studebaker that is now 21 feet long and runs a 499 ci engine. A/GCC class. Made in Walla Walla, WA.

My new wheels... Weld V-Series. Here's a shot of the Nova slammed as far to the ground as it can go and still be driveable. I'll probably raise the rear end an inch or two to give it a little rake, but not too much. No air bags for this bad boy. A little more work to the front suspension and it will be ready for paint.
