So yesterday I made the 3-1/2 hour trip to Glasgow Montana to get a 1934 Ford Frame for my new 33' Ford Pickup project. My friend Jerry also lives there so it was a trip well worth the drive. After I picked up the frame Jerry and I went on a hot rod tour of Glasgow.
We started at Jerry's where he showed me a picture of a car I was told about by my father when I was in high school. I have been looking for this car ever since my dad told me about. Needless to say I still haven't found it. I was amazed to see that Jerry had a picture.
Larry Deal owned the car, that is Murk Mansel in the passenger seat. This picture was taken in April of 1963.
Jerry has got a 70' Mustang Mach 1 that he bought new, it has 16,000 original miles on it. The car looks brand new, it still has the original tires on it! I'm kicking myself for not getting a picture of it, it's unbelievable.
Here is a couple pics of Jerry's 33' Ford coupe I just might sell parts of my body to obtain, he fits 5 vehicles in his garage so it was a little cramped.
We cruised around town saw a couple rat rod projects and the front engine dragster seen below.
It doesn't have the engine in it right now but, it ran a 292 straight six...crazy.
This is at the Malta 1/8th mile track.
Here is another 33' Plymouth that a guy in glasgow is building.
I also met this guy Stormer, he sells rc cars on the internet and drag races. He has some cool stuff on youtube, but here is his drag car. It's a 4 cylinder...crazy.
So I found this 1933 Ford 1.5 ton farm truck in a field next to a road that I used to get to a couple Hess Flowbacks.
Luckily, the owner had a "Posted" sign on the corner of the property with his name and phone number.
I called the guy and we struck a deal on the price.
I think the flathead is probably no good, we'll see.
This thing is huge, it looked much smaller when it was sunk into the ground and the weeds.
I found this 1934 Ford frame on The Hamb, it's a website that is for old cars. The frame is in Glasgow, MT.
This is why I am keeping this truck and building it, usually I would have flipped it and made a few hundred bucks. When I saw what it could look like I was hooked like a crack addict.
This is a picture my sister Tiffany took after I got it unloaded at home.
