Vehicle Description
This 1935 Ford � Ton Pickup is a seriously impressive vintage
hauler. It's beautifully finished, of course, but the longer you
look, the more details you'll find to delight the eye. That's the
true hallmark of a quality rod, and this one delivers in more than
one way, including a slick paint job, a custom interior, and a
powerful 350 V8 that's matched to a quick-shifting 4-speed manual
transmission. Take a closer look, this is a hot little streetrod
pickup with a lot of curb appeal.
The body is all-steel, which is of course a huge plus over any
fiberglass counterparts, and that full-fendered look hits all the
right notes to enthusiasts from both the old school and new. The
overall execution has been completed very nicely, and you'll note
how well it fits together, with doors that fit flush and no worries
about previous repairs or damage coming back to haunt you. Not many
miles have been put on this truck since it was built, as it really
only left the garage to be shown off, but it does show some signs
of use and age. Thankfully, it still shows well, turning heads and
attracting a lot attention everywhere it goes. The deep Cinnamon
Red paint lets the shape do most of the talking, working in harmony
instead of as a solo. The black on the running boards accents some
of the truck's more noteworthy details, and the stylized Ford
emblems on the hood are those wonderful touches that I mentioned
earlier. There's no chopped roof, nothing is shaved off, and this
little pickup retains original pieces like the waterfall grille and
original headlights to keep the vintage look. Chrome is at a
minimum, and we really like that because it lets the finish do most
of the talking, although chrome bumper fore and aft and bright trim
around the grille and windshield do provide a nice contrast to the
classic finish. In the bed you'll find more steel that's been
painted to match the running boards, putting a neat twist on an old
favorite.
A custom upholstered bench works well inside and the combination of
Cinnamon and Beige high-grade vinyl makes it feel far more upscale
than just one or the other would, and the pattern is continued on
the door panels for a beautifully finished look. All the soft parts
were custom stitched for just this truck, including the custom
headliner (check out the stallion head!) that has an integrated
panel for a Pioneer AM/FM/CD player, and neat-fitting floor mats
that protect the plush beige carpets. The dash was nicely finished,
painted to match the body and filled with black-faced gauges
(Stewart Warner plus an AutoMeter speedometer), along with a custom
panel for the R134a A/C just below that was upholstered in beige
vinyl to match the theme inside. Within an easy arm's reach is the
cue-ball topped shifter for the 4-speed manual transmission below,
and the LeCarra leather-wrapped steering wheel ahead of the driver
is mounted on a tilt column and is a great comfort to grip. Built
for comfort and easily capable of long-distance hauls, they didn't
forget to also make it beautiful inside.
For reliability and performance, it's hard to beat a 350 V8
small-block powerplant. Built with a mild cam and topped with an
Edelbrock intake and 4-barrel carburetor, it fits neatly under the
Ford's pointed hood and is dressed up with a chrome air cleaner,
finned Edelbrock valve covers, block-hugger headers tucked in tight
to the engine, and a few shiny bits that tie the whole truck
together quite nicely. The firewall was custom made to accommodate
the Chevy's rear-mounted distributor, with form following function
in a very trick way, and there's massive cooling available from the
radiator up front. It's backed by the aforementioned 4-speed manual
transmission and a capable rear end, and the entire undercarriage
was nicely painted and only shows minor signs of use. The dual
exhaust system has the right hot rod tone but hushes down a bit on
the highway, and the combination of bright 15-inch American Racing
Torque Thrust wheel wrapped with blackwall radials looks just
right.
A beautifully finished hauler that's neatly sorted and ready to
cruise. Priced right and already getting a ton of interest, don't
wait too long. Call today!
