1934 FORD CUSTOM PICKUP

The original iconic So-Cal Speed Shops Jimmy Shines beloved personal 34 truck. Its been featured in movies videos over 65 magazines and was Rodders Journal Truck of the Year. Following in the footsteps of such iconic cars as the Pierson Brothers coupe So-Cal Belly Tank and The California Kid Jimmy Shines 1934 Ford truck is considered a milestone hot rod by many. It took the hot-rod world by storm when it graced the cover of the Rodders Journal in 2001 followed by 65 magazine features to date. The truck has also seen TV time appearing on eight different series such as Hard Shine American Icon and Hot Rod Build Off. It was hand-picked by Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top to appear in his rock video I Gotsta Get Paid. TV aside this pickup has become an ambassador of the hot-rod world by travelling across international borders and was featured at the Mooneyes Show in Yokohama Japan. Mechanically the truck comes from an original Ford body and chassis. Shine chopped the cab 5 and channeled the body 6 featuring a semi-belly-panned floor 40 Ford dash hand-built bed with 40 Ford pockets Studebaker top rolls and a lowered tailgate. The interior consists of two real aircraft ejection seats and Ron Mangus stitched military canvas upholstery. The engine is a 277ci H&H Flathead with Navarro heads and intake and two Stromberg carburetors on top of a SCoT supercharger. The transmission is a 39 Ford mated to a 41 Ford differential on a heavily modified Henry Ford frame designed by Shine with solid front axle and wishbone. One of the most distinguishing features is the custom red wheels built after hours by Shine at Boyd Coddingtons shop. Each wheel took three donor wheels starting with 32 Studebaker spoke centers 35 Ford bells and caps attached to custom hoops and like the rest of this hot rod they are truly unique.
