Found more pics of Dad's rods in the 60's

[TubularFab]

Ok, I finally found the scans I had done in the 90's of slides of my dad's rods in the 1960's. While he was driving the '34 roadster he was also working on a truck as well.

Here is the '34 (better scan this time!):

(and it's someone other than him in the pic - he doesn't remember who)

Hard to get more grassroots than sitting in the grass working on your hotrod:

Can anyone ID this engine? All dad remembers is that it was a Lincoln:

The truck enters here:

That's what it's all about. Get an old car, strip it down and throw in a big old V8! [cl[cl[cl

Too cool! That looks like a Y-block in that '34.

Very neat old pictures, thanks for posting them. I wish all of us had been more camera saavy back then. All I owned was a Polaroid and the film was too expensive to waste on taking pictures of our cars. Plus, they turned brown after a few years.

You have a cool dad. Mine likes old cars but can't do much more than change oil and never had a real hotrod after he bought a '56 Chevy new. He actuallly has a picture of it I wish I had. He had it customized by running 2 pieces of the rear trim and made it look like a '57 and painted that area gold (where the Belair aluminum inserts went in the '57) . Neat car. I love your pics, thanks for posting.

I love those pictures. We had a few of those in my neck of the woods back in the mid 1960's. I often wonder if all those old hot rods got turned into those ultra-shiney, ultra expensive billet street rodder types.(yeck) That old Ford truck is about as good as it gets in my book. I bet it was loud, bet it had a few leaks too. probably didnt ride well either...bet is was fun to drive tho...thanks for sharing.
