| | | | Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 171 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 171 | I am in the process of doing a sad 1929 1.5 truck. The cab was borrowed before I go the truck to do a hot rod. It would be nice to locate a replacement. I am not sure the original engine will be rebuildable. Also, would like to build a pair of adapters to dual out the rear axel. Has anyone got patterns or ideas? If you know of a derelict truck, with a cab available, and can share some ideas on a replacement engine, please help me out.
Thanks, Alan

What is it about the truck that you do like, or why must you restore a truck that is missing 1/2 the important stuff?
I'm sure it's possible, and you could have a nice 29 truck when done, but I would look for a different more complete project to start with.

I also look at this project as a potential dumb thing to do. The end result has no where near the value of other projects I have. However, this project has a bit of sentimental interest for me. I know the history back to new. If I need, I will follow your advice and buy another donor truck in an effort to satisfy my sentmental streak on rebuilding the 1929. I also have a 1922 Dodge touring that I am putting together for the same sentimental reason.....what a hobby. Ideas are always welcome.
Regards, Alan | | |
