Vehicle Description
Rat rods or nostalgic built hot rods have been a trend in custom
car building for quite some time now, and because of their use of
old parts and build techniques, they never really get dated or
obsolete. They are built with personal tastes to honor a period
when shiny paint and billet everything didn't matter but having fun
with your custom car was the only goal! Each car will be
individualized and unique so you can also be guaranteed no one at
the next car show will park something similar next to you by
comparison!
Offered here is a 1934 Ford Rat Rod Pickup wearing a weathered
patina on an original steel body, running boards, and bed. It saw
very little by way of body restoration so it will showcase some age
and select areas where rust has goten the better of it, but it
retains a solid foundation overall. The chassis remains original
with the use of an updated drop I-beam front axle and brakes that
have been upfitted to hydraulic drum brakes at all four
corners.
Under the hood rests a very nicely tuned 59A- 239ci Flathead V8
with performance enhancements to include Edelbrock aluminum finned
heads, Edmunds aluminum intake pairing twin Stromberg 97 2-barrel
carburetors, Red's Headers, and Mallory dual point distributor! It
starts with ease and breaths out through chrome tipped side exhaust
without mufflers for quite a wicked sound! The engine mates to a
3-speed manual transmission keeping with an all-Ford component
theme. Additional features include wire spoke wheels wrapped in
Firestone Deluxe Champion 4-ply black sidewall tires measuring
5.50x16" up front and 7.50x16" at the rear, full Stewart Warner
dash instrumentation, Lincoln steering with knicker knob, original
cowl vent and flip-out windshield, twin 'STOP' taillamps, dual
outside rearview mirrors, and classic B-L-C sealed beam
headlamps.
The body and interior cabin were both beautifully pinstriped with a
barbed wire theme along with traditional Von Dutch stylings. The
doors both display "Honest Gary's Chicken Ranch- Beaver, UT". You
will also find some fun accessories to include a hay bale, milk
carrier with a few bottles, toolbox with horseshoeing tools inside,
and other versus items from around the ranch just to add another
special touch to the overall presentation! Please feel free to call
with additional questions or to schedule a chance to review it in
person. As always, thanks for looking!
