It needs a little work and a frame 2007 with 38,000 miles, but the price was right.
I will post the finished photos when my son get it done.
I hope you know what you are doing. That looks like a lot of work. If you can get it fixed up that will be a nice installation vehicle.
Hows the truck rehab going Dani? My daughter tried to occupy the same space as a tall stump the other day with her friend’s mom’s car. She creamed the passenger door. After lucking out with a wrecking yard having a replacement door of the same color I went on you tube, low and behold there were videos of how to get the complicated door panels off.
So…try you tube for all your “how to” needs. Ha!I’m finally on my Son’s shop schedule.
Here is my building, from L to R, My Son’s shop Hamlin Collision Center, MNJ Automation, My shop, and Cruise Transmission.
Here is the new frame in the fore ground and beginning to swap out all the parts.
David this is a better photo of my 1930 Model A
Cool!! Cool! Cool!
Im reading a great book right now called “Truck” by Micheal Perry. funny as hell! the guy writes like Stuart Mcfarland.
if ya’ll like fun stories and old trucks…give it a read.Nice Model A. Do you install with that vehicle while the other is being fixed?
It sounds so easy just to swap out the parts onto a new frame. Betcha it isn’t.
Awesome work Dani. Could you have just straightened the frame on one of those frame straightening machines? I had to do that once on my Malibu after a “miscalculation”.
Andy,
No I’m still driving my 99 with 230,000 miles on it, but I do drop off boxes at the UPS box with the A.

There is no fixing this frame
This is the cab removed from the old frame
This is the damage side of the old frame
Had a little set back I need another trans and torque converter
I got another trans today from a salvage yard in Clair, Mi for $600.00
This is the new frame
The cab needs to go on the frame rack to fix the cab mounts and the floor board on the drivers side. The trans was really the only surprise so far. This truck is still a really great deal. I got the truck w/shipping from Ft Wayne, IN for $5206.00, and I have spent $1900.00 on parts and by the time I add another 3500.00 for paint and labor and another 800.00 for extras, I’m still under $12,000.00 for a truck that is worth $21,000.00.
