My new investment 1925 Chev with 23" wheels, wooden.

[datsun 521 ute]

Went and picked up my new purchase/investment today. This is a 1925 Chev Tourer converted to a ute. Don't intend on modifying it as it is original and like to keep it that way. Just though I would share it with you all.

Very cool. What's that hanging from the ceiling in front of it?

Yeah I was going to say thats not original. Ive seen some belts like that before... theyre like a hardened plastic and look similar to a chainsaw blade turned inside out so the teeth face in and not out.

Those first pictures were taken from the guy I bought from so no idea sorry.

Yes the fan belt is certainly different, they interlink so you can make it to length.

that is so nice

Thanks guys, yes very happy with the purchase and so is my son Archer.

Took it for an 80km/50mile drive yesterday and what an experience it was. I'm guessing you can't balance wooden wheels as accurate as what you can with modern wheels, obviously. All in all I was pretty happy with it for a car that was nearly 90 years old.

Its got leaf springs up front. Nice, convert to 4x4?? :D

i dare you to put one of the "yes this is my truck, no i won't help you move" stickers on it

[Boaty]

[Ranman72]

You should put a pair of those Truck Balls on it.

looks like its leaking coolant.

Took me a minute to notice, rhd. Very Cool! Thats a real nice lookin old truck.

Is that twist lock belt popular down under? We use them on equipment over here to reduce vibration like on a table saw. I've always wondered if they would work in a car.

Nice to meet you Archer, take care of your daddy and drive safe! :thumbup:

What? Never heard of them.

Yes it's coming from a screw cap on the water pump and leaks a little oil also. Not expecting too much for 90 year old engineering and won't be driving it enough to warrant fixing it.

I'm not sure, I have never seen this type of belt before.

Thanks guys, yeah he's a great kid. When he gets a little older I want to buy him a Ford Model A 3 or 5 window coupe for a father son project.

ashamed to admit its prob only an America thing

 

dumb rednecks like to hang them from their truck hitches.

 

 

 

 

 

 

for what reason I do not know... .. I stay away from the south.

 

[datsun 521 ute]

Okay then, I guess some people wear their heart on their sleeve and others wear their balls on their hitch.

I won't be putting a pair of these on my parts list that's for sure.

[Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy]

the original truck balls was just a sock with two tennis balls in it... they'd bounce along the road as you drive :rofl:

 

back to the mature topic, that thing is super sweet. Love all of the oldies, and wooden wheels are the bomb

i keep hoping to see a picture of a canadian truck with truck nuts.... at least i can point and say "see, we aren't the only ones" kinda like when you hope to see another kid picking his nose so you know yours isn't the only one doing it

Cool truck, it looks like it's in great shape!

 

My Dad has a 1926 Chevy coupe, with solid steel wheels. Your truck looks better!

His car has an aluminum radiaor shell. So I'm wondering if the shell on your truck is painted steel or alumninum?

nah we don't do that, but we do strap americans to our bumpers. considering that usa is ranked as one of the most obese countries in the world the cushion effect is great and saves our bumpers from dents :rofl:

 

 

I was considering a '28 chev truck when I was 16
