Hello all. It's been awhile since I last posted. I was laid up for a couple of months and just got back into building. While I was laid up I decided to redesign the Fish Truck a bit and concentrate on just one build until it's finished.
The truck is based on the Lindberg Tall T. I'm calling it a '25 Ford Model T 5-window extended cab pickup with 'convertible' pickup box. The cab has been chopped, sectioned (both horizontally & vertically) & channeled. The rear wall or bulkhead is scratchbuilt.
What you see here is very raw. Details such as trim, lights, etc. will be added later.
The frame will be scratchbuilt from Evergreen sheet. A template is shown. The crossmembers are also from Evergreen stock and are shown here.
So far I have two box options - the stake bed and a tonneau cover. The different bed options mount into the 3 holes on each side of the bed. If no option is selected then I have a piece that just covers the holes (shown). I may also do a camper-type shell or other. The slats for the stake rails are hobby sticks stained with Minwax. I'm also doing a wood bed using Evergreen channel strips between the pieces of wood.
Tires will be the big deuce Goodyears all the way around with the torque thrust rims I made a few years ago but never used. I'm going for a total truck look and that's why I'm going with big tires all the way around. I'm using the cycle fenders from the Lindberg Custom T. They are shown here just sitting on top of the tires but they will actually be sitting slightly above - mounted with brackets made from 1/16" aluminum tube.
Interior panels will be covered with velour with wood accents. I have a few differnt designs I'm considering. Seats are from the tall T. Dash will be wood.
I'll explain more later as I progress. I just wanted to post these and let everyone know I'm still kicking.
