Ford “C” Cab Farm Truck for local community club Easter fund raiser…
Ford “C” Cab Farm Truck for local community club Easter fund raiser…
YES, Easter is only a couple of weeks away…
.
With the help of a friend from USA Doug, I got the shape of the early 1920’s C Cab for this truck.
The rest of the truck was made up as I went; “yay” scratch built, along with a few mistakes…
I tried a new method of making the front mudguards [fenders], using 2 holesaws then cutting the ring in half and it’s seems to have worked.
The fuel tanks design is borrowed from Dutch friend, thank you Jan.
The tailgate has 3 off 5/16” [8mm] locating dowels with reinforcement under the tray.
Timbers used are Spotted Gum for the tray & cabin roof;
Oak for the seat & mudflaps along with the front & rear bumper bars; Pacific Maple for the tailgate & sides; Merbau for the engine; Pine for the running boards & mudguards; Iron Bark for the exhaust stacks; with home made Wipe On Poly as the finish.
[30% Tung Oil, 40% Satin Clear Polyurethane, 30% Mineral Turps]
The steering wheel is on the right hand side for Australian drivers.

The local Boys & Girls Club run a couple of Guessing Competitions a year were I provide a truck to fill with lollies, but with Easter, it’s chocolate eggs that you have to guess the correct number.

Good fun project which should raise a good amount of much needed moneys for the club.
Cheers, crowie

Handy sure built a sweet truck with some help from Crowie. I guess next time it will be a Peterbilt.
How many eggs can it hold? Depends on the size of the eggs.
Hope the community club does well as the truck appears to be a heavy hauler with the small rear wheels.
Well Done.
