Vehicle Description
Finished in red hot paint and featuring a comfortable A/C leather
interior, a beautiful wood bed, and a very strong small block Chevy
motor, this 1935 Ford 3-Window Pickup is one impressive streetrod
hauler. It's beautifully finished, of course, but the longer you
look, the more dialed-in details you'll find to delight the eye.
That's the true hallmark of a quality hotrod, and this one delivers
in more than one way.
The body is all steel, (fenders and running boards included!) and
on this little truck, that full-fendered look hits all the right
notes for any car and truck lover. Finished 26,619 miles ago, the
overall execution of the professional build was completed very
nicely, and you'll note how well everything fits together, with
doors that fit flush and no worries about previous repairs or
damage coming back to haunt you. This truck's been enjoyed the last
few years so it does have a few minor signs of use, but this
sucker's about as close to a modern 1935 Ford as you're going to
get, and they don't get much nicer than this under $40k. The shiny
bright and deep red paint lets the shape do most of the talking,
with a few choice pieces of chrome working in contrasted harmony
instead of clashing looks. There's no tired pinstriping or cheesy
decals, which means this truck will never look dated, and the
stylized chrome latch system and indented 'Ford' script on the
tailgate are those wonderful touches that we mentioned earlier. The
top has been slightly chopped and it retains original pieces like
the cowl vent and Ford oval and chrome trim on the hood to keep the
vintage look. The front bumper was deleted and they opted not to
install bumperettes so that the turn signals could be discreetly
tucked under the front fenders, and a custom rear pan with
integrated taillights compliments the rear. In the bed you'll find
gorgeous brightly-stained wood whose impactful color and adjoining
chrome slats complement the bodywork, putting a slick twist on an
old favorite.
A tan-and-red bench seat with killer diamond-cut patterns works
well inside the cab, and the combination of leather, vinyl, and
fabrics inside makes it feel far more upscale than just one or the
other would. All the soft parts were custom stitched for just this
truck, including the headliner and neat-fitting floor mats that
protect the matching carpets below. Billet inserts in the dash
carry clean black-faced VDO instruments and make up the bezel for
the stereo (updated Kenwood AM/FM/CD head unit is in the glovebox),
and a neatly integrated A/C system that is located under the seat
(blows strong but needs service to blow cold). You'll also
appreciate the original-style cowl vent, which provides ventilation
when it's not hot enough to need the A/C. A sporty LeCarra steering
wheel is wrapped in leather for a comfortable grip, and it's
mounted on a tilt column that also houses the shifter for the
automatic transmission below. Built for comfort and easily capable
of long-distance hauls, the builders definitely didn't forget to
also make it beautiful inside.
For reliability and performance, it's hard to beat a small-block
Chevy power plant. The 283ci V8 actually runs stronger than
expected and it fits nicely under the Ford's pointed hood and is
dressed up with all the familiar gear like a Brawler 4-barrel
carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, finned Corvette valve
covers, chrome and polished accessories tucked in tight to the
block, and all those shiny and detailed bits tie the whole truck
together quite nicely. The firewall was custom made to accommodate
the Chevy's rear-mounted HEI distributor, with form following
function in a very trick way, and there's massive cooling available
from the aluminum radiator up front. It's backed by a TH350 3-speed
automatic and a Ford 9-inch rear end, and even after 27k miles on
the road, the undercarriage and upgraded suspension components are
still beautifully painted and polished to match the body. Ceramic
coated shorty headers feed the Flowmaster dual exhaust system that
has the right beefy hotrod tone but still hushes on the highway.
Finishing the look, the combination of big-n-little American Racing
Torque Thrusts with 195/60/15 front and 255/45/17 rear blackwall
radials looks just right.
A beautifully finished hauler that's totally sorted and ready to
cruise. Steel streetrods never last long with us here at
Streetside, and hard-to-find trucks built this well usually don't
make it past the first month before we're shipping them to new
owners. So don't delay, call today!
