Iron Trap Shop Truck Build Part 1: Blown Flathead Powered Jalopy Shop Truck Build! – 1928 Ford Roadster Pickup

The more I watch Iron Trap videos the more I want to build a 1920-1940 hot rod. They seem so simple and bare-bones if you want them to be and that means that you can put one together pretty quickly if you have the right parts and pieces laying around. Since the Iron Trap gang does, this cool shop truck project should be pretty simple and straight forward for them to get up and running. It’s especially nice since it is going to be a shop truck and not something that has to be super clean and finished when done.

That doesn’t mean it won’t be cool though! Check out video one of this project. There is more to come and you’ll dig it.

Video Description:

With some of our other projects nearing completion, and others have reached a slow point, we decided to get started on our Jalopy Shop Truck!! We have been wanting to build a truck for a while and once we saw the 1928 Ford Roadster Pickup in Texas, we knew this was the perfect candidate. We also scored a really nice Model A frame that recently was blasted and is in very nice shape. The frame under the RPU has a few small cracks and has some old repairs. Starting with a cleaned, damage free frame allows us to get right to work, and eliminates time consuming repairs. Matt, Mike and Steve work to pull to bed and body off the old chassis, and mock up body on the new frame with some wheels and tires to get a good visual on what the project will look like. We can’t wait to really get to work on the new Iron Trap Shop Truck!!
