"Ford's 1929 Model A pickup truck was based on its Model A car. It
used the same four cylinder, 40 horsepower engine. Ford's pickup
was available in open and closed cab versions. Factory price for
the open cab pickup was $430, while closed cab trucks started at
$445. Ford sold more than 212,000 trucks for 1929."

For consignment, a 1929 Ford Model A pickup showing 403 miles, but
the true miles are unknown. This one packs a 350ci V8 under the
hood, a Brookville frame underneath, and a custom interior in the
cab. Our consignor states the truck has 403 miles since build.
Exterior
A stunning presentation decked out in two stage Sandstone Tan and
Black, all hunkered down on 15-inch wheels with Diamond Back
Classic wide white walls that have an early 2025 date code. It's
unmistakable Model A up front with headlights with polished buckets
on a light bar that crosses the black mesh grille within the body
colored shell. A visor hovers over the vertical windshield and the
entire cabin is one right angle after another with a perfectly flat
and vertical rear wall with a small window that overlooks the
monochromatic custom aluminum hard cover on the bed. Beneath it,
richly stained dark wood planks present in stunning condition,
contrasted by their polished rails. The roof is in great condition
and so is the paint and body. We had to search, but the few
imperfections include a couple of chips and some paint runs.
Interior
Simple panels existed long before they thought about incorporating
cupholders. Ours are decked out in lovely Saddle leather, smelling
wonderfully, with both a stitched and header detail along with
window crank. A low back bench in Saddle leather also includes a
stitch detail and is surrounded by warm black walls and shell. The
beauty parade continues up front where a 1940 Ford ivory steering
wheel fronts a black and ivory dash lined with Stewart Warner Wings
gauges all over a black carpeted floor, saddle kick panels, and
black painted firewall. There's also a tachometer neatly tucked
under the dash. The black headliner is contrasted by warm wooden
accenting which also surrounds the doors.
Drivetrain
The engine makes a nice presentation with bright valve covers and
Chevrolet, yes Chevrolet, script in contrasting paint. It's a 350ci
GM Goodwrench crate V8 with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor,
Walker radiator, and an air cleaner from a 1956 Chevy. Behind it
lurks a rebuilt TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and power is
routed to the Ford 9" rear with John's 31 spline axles, 2.75 gears,
and TracLoc. The truck now runs on a 12 volt system and has an
Optima Red Top battery.
Undercarriage
Our show worthy underside begins with stainless steel dual exhaust
passing through Borla Pro XS mufflers on their way to a down turned
rear exit. Brakes are on board as front disc and rear drum and
suspension includes four bar hair pins with a transverse leaf
spring up front and 4 bar with coil overs in back.
Drive-Ability
Builds this nice usually translate to a congruous ride experience
and that proves out here as well. No complaints as this street rod
runs, sounds, tracks, handles, and brakes nicely. he interior feels
like a cigar lounge but we're not smoking anything inside this one!
