1930 Ford Other Pickups Description

This 1930 Ford pickup is the perfect mix of a hot rod, and a cool cruiser. After all, beneath the steel bodywork is a more modern suspension, V8 heart, and a nice rumble from the dual exhaust.The great steel body has that great upright original silhouette that will make people immediately recognize this for a '30s-style Henry Ford cruiser. And the metal Standard Oil sign on each door just reinforces this is a very cool old-style pickup. But this pure 1930s feeling lasts only for a moment. The full matte black paint (even over the bumpers), red grille, and racing disc hubcaps are all big indicators that this has some hot rod aggression. The result is a very cool mix of old and new worlds that represents all the best of the classic car culture. These pure vintage and hot rod feelings that the pickup produces is best seen in the truck bed. The wood side slats and floor are great period-correct pieces, but the bright aluminum gas tank is defiantly reserved for something more custom.Inside the updates continue. The new two-tone brown leather is a great upgrade for the interior, but special attention was paid to keep some of the original appearance. For example, the seat keeps the low-back single bench setup of a '30s pickup. But now it has individual seating areas and integrated headrests to give it long-haul comfort. The custom chrome steering wheel on the bright tilt column is pure hot rod cool. And the full array of Dolphin gauges look like they could have been installed by Ford all those years ago, except the factory never gave you so many readouts, including a tach.Under the hood is double the number of cylinders, and a whole lot more displacement than what came in a factory Model A. Not only does the Chevy orange look great radiating power from the 305 cubic-inch block, but also this more modern motor has been built for comfort and performance. The V8 moves this lightweight pickup with real authority, and the cherry bomb packs on the dual exhaust let everyone know you've got some power under foot. But this is far from a brute. The electric water pump, aluminum radiator, and electric fan are the kind of reliable modern components that keep this classic running easy. Plus, the front suspension has been upgraded to a Mustang II-style independent unit with front disc brakes. Add in rack & pinion steering, new shocks & springs, and a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, and the very vintage Ford is a great anytime decision.This truck creates a stir wherever it goes, and it has been built to go everywhere with ease. You even get plenty of '30s automotive memorabilia to keep up the ruse that this stealthy hot rod is right from the Standard Oil service station. That's an irresistible package that can be yours if you're quick enough. Call today!!
