Since the beginning, what I really wanted was a late 1931 Ford Model A pickup truck, model 82B. Just now, one practically fell into my lap, and my wallet got a lot thinner! So I got it home, and tore it completely apart down to the bare frame. Why??!! I'm going to build this 1931 Ford Model A pickup truck from the frame up, bolt by bolt. The 1931 wide bed Budd cab (metal roof) Ford Model A pickup truck is extremely rare. The pressure is ON!

I finished my '31 CCPU last month, after owning it for 30+ years, I dissembled it back then. Finally the last two years it has been an almost every day project. There was so much to learn, tools to buy and so much FUN! As it sits in the garage or on the road it is almost hard to imagine all the separate projects required to get it to that state. The advice I would give is to do it all, or as mush as possible, yourself. Don't pay someone else to have all that fun and miss out on learning how to do it yourself. That probably does not need to be said as you are the epitome of the DIY Guy. Also don't create a deadline for yourself other than continuing forward progress, so you can enjoy the "Experience" of the restoration without rushing. Having a full time job as you do will probably put a damper on the speed part anyway! Envision the days ahead when you are sitting in your work truck up at a repeater site, having lunch and your mind is buzzing about how to solve and complete the next phase of the project. So FUN! 73, KU6U

People cry about the environment all the time, but by keeping the old cars on the road, we are actually saving the energy of the planet by not producing more new stuff. Just think about the thousands of parts that go into a new car and the energy it takes to produce them. Mechanics save the world by keeping the old cars on the road, and everything is rebuildable with very few hazardous materials compared to new cars. Great job, Paul, keep them on the road, Mike

Back when I got married in 1966 I had a 1931 Model A pickup. But it had a split splash apron and a 1930 radiator shell. Only the title said 1931. I sold it in 1973 to get a Honda 750-four motorcycle. All I have left is some old pictures. My wife and I really enjoyed delivering Christmas presents with the pickup since it would go very well in foot deep snow. (high clearance) Pickup was black with yellow wheels and pinstripes. That color did look nice. I will try to follow you with this project. Many good memories from all those years ago.

very cool little pickup. I have always liked the metal top wide bed A's. Mainly because they are the closest to the 32-34 pickups which have always been my favorites due to growing up in the cab of a 33. It is neat to see the changes and the thinking at Ford as they were gearing up for the 32's and the move away from the A.

Excellent video. Interesting to see a commercial vehicle for a change. For what it's worth, with regard to the engine, I would go for the engine closest to what was originally fitted. My thinking, which you are free to ignore, is that if you are building an 82B from scratch, make it like the factory made it (although I would add oil and air filters as these are discreet and help protect the engine). Good luck with the restoration.

What is a "diamond block"? What would I have done? Keep the paint that's on it, clean/polish it, use a B engine and use some of the tricks that the guy on "Seattle Speed Shop" RU-vid channel has been going thru recently.

@ModelA 10 месяцев назад

Diamond blocks were Model A and B blocks cast by Ford way after production ended and metallurgy and design improvements were made. Also since they are newer metal, it is very rare to hear of a diamond block with cracks. About as bullet-proof as it gets. But still factory Ford made in USA part. There is a little diamond in the casting. In a previous video I showed where to look for them.

I'm no expert, but if you are doing a "frame-up" restoration, then certainly you should get it as close to correct as possible...

You think so?

@hansosl 10 месяцев назад

Yes but maybe its caused by the Rubber mounts. But as it is I prefere the oiling system from the b engine. In the end its a personal choice... I have also a B Transmission in my Daily driver model a. What is your opinion A vs B ?

@@hansosl I have both Model As and a B. They run about the same.

My answer to name of the song was answered before I finished and hit send . So I just added that I shoulda waited and I would had my answer Any way, I have a 31 roadster i bought to have fun with and not too good to run gravel roads here in Va a year ago and so far it has gone around the block 2 times after working all winter. Point being I’m 81 and do all my own work, so… it’s cheaper than a theripus and it keeps me sain . Love your videos and Mains As.

Unless there's more to the story, John Deere livery isn't right for a Model A.

@ModelA 10 месяцев назад

Right. Not a factory color.

@MuniTechnology 10 месяцев назад

@ModelA Not being a factory color is part of it, but that green is an iconic factory color of something that is most definitely NOT from a Model A factory. Rossa Corsa is Ferrari, British Racing Green is United Kingdom. It can be green, but it absolutely cannot be John Deere green without knowing how it got there. Maybe there's a compelling backstory as to how this color got on this truck. Find a good story and you have another video.

@ModelA 10 месяцев назад

I plan to tell the story someday. Maybe when it's all done and driving, we can take a look back and talk about where it was and how it got here. Unfortunately, the info I can gather only goes back 1.5 owners ago. Total dead end before that.

"Stopped watching" Oh, come on.. It was for ONE segment where I wanted to cover up the boring shop babble and language from some onlookers. Don't be a weenie, watch past that segment.

This is going to be fantastic to watch, thank you for bringing us along and congrats on the new "A" in your life. I rather like the green as well, being a truck the "John Deere look" suits it. And I wanted to share, my very first issue of The Restorer came this week (I joined MAFCA at Model A Days), felt like an early Christmas present! Thanks for all you do for us and our hobby ~ Chuck P. S. Hope you're feeling better.

@ModelA 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Chuck And welcome! I'm thinking of going with a factory color.

@charlesdalton985 10 месяцев назад

@@ModelA Thanks for the welcome! Whatever you do, it's going to be awesome. I was merely offering the current color is pleasing, because we've all bought cars and thought, "Oh boy, can't wait to primer this, it'll be an improvement".

Loved hearing "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White" - my Junior High Graduation song. How long does a complete restoration take? I started my restoration of my 1931 De Luxe Tudor when I was 24. I finished when I was 49, just in time for my daughter (who wasn't born when I got the car) to be driving from her Wedding to the Reception. Hang in there everyone. Patience pays off.

If Model As were conscious with a brain they would realize immediately that falling into Paul Shinns hands was like winning a Powerball lottery. Really enjoy this channel.

Nice truck! Looks like the one that my Dad had when I was kid. His was green, Sinclair green. He was a marketer for the Sinclair brand of gasoline, oils & lubes. It was used in his business delivering cases of oil, even 55 gallon drums. I always enjoyed helping to make those deliveries in that Model A truck. He made the mistake of selling it because his business needed operational funds to survive. Not sure how much it sold for, but it had to be good for Dad to let it go. Your project is the closest one that matched Dad’s truck. Trust me I have been searching for it for years! It certainly would something if that was the same, Sinclair green truck that Dad sold, in Florida, back around 1957 ~ 1960!
