Here is the fourth installment of the shop truck build, and as rough as this thing looks the sheet metal work needed is really pretty minor. In this video you’ll see a bunch of reinforcements in the body as all the wood is removed and replaced with metal before a bit of welding. All in all this thing is really starting to come together. Check it out.

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:

The 1928 Model A Roadster Pickup that we purchased from Texas does not have any of the wood bracing in the side the back portion of the cab. This allows the body to flex a lot, and the body needs to be pushed apart to open the doors. While we could go to any of the online retailers and purchase replacement wood, we have installed box tubing in the past to really stiffen up a body. Matt takes some 1×2 box tubing and works his magic to get this Roadster Pickup stiffened up and closer to having functioning doors.
