Truck has been finished over 15 years, and has logged over 37000 miles. The paint looks great, but with mileage and years, it does have some chips and minor flaws. I have been diligent with touching them up, and have extra paint, but I will be up front to say it is not perfect. The truck will make you proud at any Goodguys, NSRA, or local event, but may not be indoor show quality! It has a great shine, and is laser straight. It is a great 5 footer, and only you will know its flaws. There is no rust or patch panels though. Everything but the dash and steel hood is 1928 Henry Ford.

Dan was born in the early 1950’s and caught the bug by tinkering with cars with his old man out in the garage. By the late 1960’s he was well on this way in souping up his own rides and in the 1970’s started building, fabricating, painting, and customizing similar to his idols before him. He has built, customized, or assisted in the process for others dozens of cars and trucks. He has never made the fortunes or experienced the notoriety of the “big boys” but he’s never sought that out either. In fact, he was never in the “business” but rather just kept things as a simple hobby and past time. To this day, he still lives a humble and quiet life only about 10 miles from where it all started.



 
Due to debilitating health issues, Dan has had to slow down in recent years. While he still stubbornly enjoys his tinkering around in the garage, he has not had the financial wherewithal or the physical capabilities he once had. He has one last custom car endeavor that has been in the works the past several years. In order to try to make that dream and project a reality and to settle a few others of life’s necessities and obligations, Dan is offering up to you his nostalgic and multi-award winning “Emerald Lady”, a 1928 modified custom Model A Ford Roadster Pickup that he started in 1992 and completed in 2003.



Body, Bed & Exterior: The all steal body derives from an original 1928 Tudor sedan pulled and hauled out of an old barn in Ravenna, Ohio in the Spring of 1992 (photo can be provided upon request). From there, the customizing and modifications began.
 
The windshield posts were leaned back 7° degrees and the rear of the sedan body of cut off and later replaced with a custom hand-made all steal pickup bed and bottom rear pan. The bed has a removable white vinyl Tonneau cover. In the bed you where you will also find the 10 gallon spun-aluminum fuel tank. The taillights are 1939 Ford teardrops with glass lenses.
 
The roof of the original sedan was cut off and later replaced with a custom-made removable steal top covered in white vinyl. This top can be easily removed to make the car an instant convertible but does require at least 2 people to remove the top. A small rear window was made in the top taken from a late model Lincoln Continental.
 
The grill shell is a 1932 fiberglass unit with stainless steel inserts.
 
The stainless steel headlights are off a 1993 Peterbilt which has built-in turn signals.



 
Interior: The interior is done in white and aqua marine vinyl. The dash is modified from a 1932 Ford truck and has a custom gauge panel with Stewart-Warner gauges, auto meter tack, and Superior steering wheel. The bucket seats were modified from a 1980 Ford Fiesta.
 
The dash was autographed by The Alexander Brothers, Mike and Larry Alexander during participation in an auto show held in Landcaster, OH in 2003. Larry later passed away in 2010 but his Brother Mike lives on. The first cars these guys built in the 1950’s was a Model A with a beefed up Flathead V-8 and a 1931 Model A truck known as the “grasshopper”.  They certainly enjoyed Dan’s creation as well.
 
Radio: AM/FM Radio with cassette. Speakers mounted behind seats.
 
Chassis: The chassis is a stock Model A frame which has been modified to be fully boxed in. American rear coil over shocks, Pete & Jake’s front shocks, Speedway Motor’s rear radius rod, Panhard Bar, split wishbone front, 1932 Ford front I-Beam axle, 4 inch stretched and dropped Mustang steering box, 1976 Ford 9 inch rear end, 3.00 gears, 10 inch rear brakes, 1940 Ford front brakes, and 1948 Ford truck master cylinder.



 
Wheels and Tires: Front wheels are 15x5 chrome – 5x5 ½ bolt pattern. Front tires are Diamond Back Classics 165R15 with 2 ¼ inch wide white walls. Rear wheels are 15x7 chrome – 5x5 ½ bolt pattern. Rear tires are Coker 255RX15 with 3 inch wide white walls.
 
Paint: The paint is PPG base coat – clear coat, emerald green poly. The car was fully painted by Dan/owner while the pin stripping and lettering was done by the outstanding hot rod artist Jeremy “J Bird” Lockard.
 
Drive Train/Engine: The engine is a 1950 Olds 303CI, board 40 (thousandths) over, heads shaved 20 (thousandths), mild hyd-cam, crankshaft turned 10^th under, 1956 Olds distributor, Hurst front motor mounts, custom headers – lake style, Edmunds 2x2 intake manifold, Rochester 2G carbs, Edmunds valve covers and air cleaners, Mister Gasket electric fuel pump, transmission is a 1949 Olds Hydro 3 speed-air cooled, with a 1985 Camaro floor shifter – Hurst cable operated.
