Fark....What an evil death machine. That thing'd be unstable at anything above walking pace.  :o

One year at the ballarat swap meet, a fellow had trike, but the engine was a z900, and it was a death wish, the fellow who owned the trike rode it, it was crazy to see.

That's cool Paul. You've gotta love a set of Kelsey-Hayes wheels on a rod. I'm toying with the idea of fitting a pair to my trailer with a pair of bobbed Harley fenders. The bloody things got Camry wheels on it and I almost can't bare the humiliation any more. :-[
It's a 32 Freaky.

I'm pretty sure it's a '34. The commercials were a few years behind the passenger stuff stylewise. ;D

I thought the cowl pressings looked '32 rather than '34 but I'm not so up on the trucks. I bow to greater knowledge. It's still a cool ride though. Don't early small block Chevys look just right with triple '97s?

To be honest I don't think there's much difference at all until the 35/36 models.

Back in the early seventies I travelled in the passenger seat of a mates channeled '34 coupe on a road trip to the Valla rod run. It was the most uncomfortable journey I can remember, with my knees up near my chest causing all sorts of cramps. That car was channelled 6" and it was awful, so the above pickup must be diabolical, I'd reckon you'd be sittng on the floor .
