For Sale: 1935 Ford Pickup in Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey

Zoom Classic Cars presents this 1935 Ford Custom Pickup. This build has just been completed by the team at Hot Rod Services of MA who are very well known for their custom builds. Starting with a new chassis from Riley Automotive, it ties together with custom crossmembers and features a 9-inch Ford rear suspended in place by a combination of slider-style parallel leaf springs and chrome tube shocks. Up front, a Super Bell dropped axle with early Ford-style spindles is deftly matched to a traverse leaf spring combined with chrome hairpins and matching tube shocks steering through a Vega box. When it's time to drop anchor; a dual master moves fluid through steel lines to front disc and rear drum brakes. It's all linked to the street through a set of 16-inch steelies wearing big "n" little Excelsior brand radials for a beautiful stance.Nothing says traditional hot rod better than a 1959 Cadillac 390ci V-8 between the 'rails. This low-mile original was treated to a rare Cadillac Eldorado three-deuce intake topped by a trio of rebuilt Rochester 2G carbs with frog-mouth scoops. It sparks to life through a stock distributor with PerTronix electronic ignition with matching coil and cloth-style plug wires. Cool details include cast aluminum finned valve covers, and new aluminum radiator with electric fan. It moves the goods though a rebuilt GM TH400 automatic trans with a fresh torque converter through a Wilcap adapter to a custom driveshaft.Starting with a rust-free California cab, it was chopped 3 3/8-inches by Hot Rod Services who also mirrored all interior garnish moldings and windshield frame to match. The truck wears an original modified 1935 Ford grille shell and features a bevy of custom updates including the firewall, cab floors, transmission tunnel ,grille shell filler panel and brand new shortened steel bed with custom floor all by Father Ray's Metal Craft. The cab and bed were then metal finished and gapped to prepare it for paint. George Bourikas of Perfection Auto in Quincy, Massachusetts, then laid down a 2-stage coating of Sherwin Williams custom gray and black bringing it all to life. Other fine details include tinted glass, Guide headlights with HID lamps and internal turn signals, under bed battery box with shutoff, Fragola fuel lines and fittings and 16-gallon bed-mounted spun aluminum fuel tank.Inside the cab it's all business with the restored factory dash filled with Wings gauges from Stewart Warner along with 2-additional dials mounted in the glove box. A sprint-style steering wheel moves the flow through a custom column while shifts click through a Lokar stick and a fresh wiring harness ties it all together. Finally, a black vinyl bench provides plenty of comfort for those long cruises. Call Jeff to schedule an appointment to see this great Truck. Stored in MA with clean title in the owner's name.
