I think it's OK but it does have some later things. The engine has "Ford Motorsport" valve covers, which I think won't fly here. Maybe the rear coil over rear suspension. But, That stuff dosen't show in most of my pics so??    |

Nice peek up! ‘29 (closed cab) pick ups are two of my most favoritest early Ford trucks, the other being the ‘32 - ‘34 pick up. (Totally feel like I lucked out that both of my favorite early trucks are produced in scale!)
If you hadn’t mentioned the “Ford Motorsport” valve covers I would have just thought they were the Shelby Cobra valve covers which were widely available during the early/mid sixties. Nearly every ‘65 - ‘68 mustang owner I knew had a set of either the Cobra or M/T (Mickey Thompson) on their 289! So we’re the chromed Ford scripted valve covers as well. So I wouldn’t be beating myself up ove running a set of cast aluminum valve covers, they were widely available for Ford (and Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, Mopars and just about any of the popular engines, including Corvair and Vee Dubs!) I see so many people confusing what was available pre-69 by comparing what they see being run on “neo-traditional” Hot Rods and Customs of today. Bottom line, trust what your “period correct” reference material shows you was available and being run for the time period you are trying to depict and you’ll be just fine.

OK, so I posted it up in the on the shelf section.
I think I have a new record for the least amount of comments.
Thanks Duane.
Seems almost no one liked this build. Oh well, I love it.

Nope, we're tied with 2 each when i got a similar response to my survivor 40 fords  I wouldn't take it personally. This place has been pretty much a ghost town lately, after showing a promising upswing when COVID first hit. Thank you for taking the time to share your builds. Please continue to do so. |

I liked it with a "like" on your Dec. 5 post when I first saw it but I didn't post a comment. I like the way it looks.
