Our friend Marc (\u201941 Ford Pick-up<\/a>) uncovered this little gem a couple of years back and instantly fell in love. It comes from a time before the widespread availability of low cost fiberglass-bodied T-bucket \u201ckits.\u201d Originally built in 1964 by Kurt Neilsen of Campbell, CA, it features an original \u201827 Model T roadster pick-up body and cut down Model A bed channeled over a modified Model A chassis. Kurt chose the ’27 body because it offered a little more room than the earlier T’s often used in these builds. A \u201957 Ford donated its running gear \u2013 a 292 inch V8, three speed trans, and positraction rear end. The beefy nine inch is still in the car.<\/p>\n

Marc towed it home and spent two years treating it to a sympathetic restoration. It\u2019s now a great example of how a handful of subtle, modern upgrades can make a cool old hot rod safer, more reliable and more comfortable — without messing up its DNA. He has multiple other car projects going, so it\u2019s time to move it along.<\/p>\n

BODY: The all-steel body and bed are from the original build. So are the sectioned Deuce grille shell, headlights, and cast aluminum headlight stands. The car was originally painted black, then metalflake tangerine, and finally red. The current paint job is older but in good condition.<\/p>\n

CHASSIS: Marc\u2019s restored the car\u2019s original chassis and reinforced it with tubular cross members and new motor mounts. The front end combines a \u201935 axle and \u201940 wishbones with a new Posies spring pack. The kingpins and tie rod ends are also new. It\u2019s all hung from a beefy, traditional bulldog perch. The rear end is hung on a Model A spring and located by an updated, better-handling triangulated four bar set-up. New chrome P&J shocks are at each corner. Steering is via a rebuilt (reversed) Corvair box aided by a chrome P&J damper.<\/p>\n

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION:\u00a0 The owner before Marc dropped a Performance Automotive 302 in place of the original Y-block. The new motor sports a mild cam, Weiand intake, new Holly 4bbl, Mallory distributor, plus new Sanderson headers and exhaust system complete back to the pencil tips. A Ford AOD overdrive transmission went in at the time of the engine swap and was serviced during Marc’s restoration.<\/p>\n

COOLING:\u00a0 A new Walker radiator was built for the cut-down grille shell; according to Marc it runs cool in all conditions.<\/p>\n

BRAKES:\u00a0 \u201940 Ford up front and \u201957 Ford in the rear — all with new shoes and wheel cylinders. A new Corvette master cylinder was hung on a Kugel 90 degree mount behind the dash. Easily accessed through the cowl vent, the set-up provides a bit more legroom and helps to clean up the polished firewall.<\/p>\n

\"CowlVent_2\"<\/a> \"CowlVent_1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

WHEELS & TIRES: The wheels are early Ford, done right. They\u2019ve been disassembled, plated and polished, then reassembled and trued. In the rear, the Ford centers were re-riveted to 10 inch wide hoops. Tires are period-correct, too: Michelin radials upfront, Hurst recap cheater slicks out back.<\/p>\n

\"MarcT_4\"<\/a>\"MarcT_dash\"<\/a> \"MarcT_9\"<\/a> \"MarcT_11\"<\/a> \"MarcT_12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

INTERIOR: Marc trimmed the interior with pleated black Ultraleather<\/em> with an eye to providing as much room and comfort as one could expect in a T. The body was fully insulated with Dynamat<\/em> before the interior went in. Other features include a custom polished aluminum dash insert, Stewart Warner Wings<\/em> gauges, a polished stainless steering column, and a super-rare 14-inch Cragar four spoke wheel.<\/p>\n

EXTRAS:\u00a0 New wiring, new battery, new aluminum Leonard Speed Equipment gas tank with quick-release cap, new fuel pump and lines, plus many restored parts and components from the original build.<\/p>\n

\"MarcT_13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great old hot rod with just the right updates. It\u2019ll take you on a high-powered ride into hot rodding\u2019s past — and get you home, too.<\/p>\n
