Jan's late A pickup hotrod has finally come back out of the garage with some updates. A stock un-chopped, all-original Ford steel cab appears to be deeply channeled but in fact sits on a very custom frame. The original hood and grill hide a bored and stroked flathead v8 with an Isky cam and a Moon Equipped throttle-body fuel injection disguised as a pair of Stromberg carburetors. Behind the flattie resides a Borg-Warner T10 five-speed turning a custom open driveshaft that spins the Winters quick-change rear end. The bed has been shortened and reworked to fit the custom chassis and suspension components. The trucks original bench seat recovered in white vinyl rounds out the spartan interior. The tool box in the bed holds tools and some small replacement parts. As Jan's daily driver this truck runs smooth and cool, and with the TBI and overdrive transmission gets 28mpg in highway driving while making approximately 250hp and 315 lb/ft of torque. A right proper mix of traditional looks hiding modern components, Jan's little red pickup is just about the most perfect little street rod a girl could want.

This truck was an earlier build first seen here: flic.kr/p/qEFn8S and then again with some changes here: flic.kr/p/rKxnBH but it had been sitting around for quite a while looking badly outdated. So I thought it was time to update it a little bit as well as retrofit it to my modular chassis standard. I also made some slight changes to the chassis rear section for this rod to better accommodate and support the pickup bed. I finally acquired four slightly usable old white tires so I thought I would throw those into the mix as well on this build. The biggest challenge was fitting the full "hood" to the modular chassis, I hope it came out OK.
This old Ford Pickup was seen at the Wapato Showdown over in Gaston Oregon.. I so enjoy seeing these old cars from yesteryear.. Happy Truck Thursday, Everybody!!!!!!!
It has the features of the 1971-1972 model year. The basic body was used during model years 1967-1972. It was a great style.

With nearly 10,000 photos on my stream now and thousands still waiting to be uploaded, it is a great time to look back at some of the cars that I spotted during my early days.
The 4th Generation of Ford’s F pickup trucks spanned model years 1961-66. New for the generation was the ‘integrated pickup’ design in which the bed was welded directly onto the cab. This was intended to save assembly steps in the factory and to replace the ‘Styleside’ bed of the previous generation in which the two parts were mounted separately on the vehicle frame.
However, truck buyers weren’t completely sold on the idea for various reasons having to do with ride and durability of the design. To satisfy potential Ford buyers who wanted the conventional configuration in which the cab and bed weren’t directly attached together, they then offered a combination of a Gen 4 cab mismatched with the Gen 3 box for a couple of model years! By the middle of 1963, Ford finally offered a separate Gen 4 Styleside box that matched the style of the Gen 4 cab.

Happy Truck Thursday!
A very well done 1939 GMC pickup that was on display at the 2017 Ol' Marais River Run Car Show held in Ottawa Kansas.
France : 1980 - 1993
Argentina : 1993 - 1999
The model pictured here is an Argentinian production, recognizable to its plastic front bumpers. Sales in France ended in 1996, so the three last years, all the pickups were imported from Argentina.
After 1999, production was transferred to Kenya until 2001, and then Nigeria when it ended in 2005.
