Forgotten Farm Truck To Ultimate Hot Rod Pickup In 30 Minutes

In December of 2021 Matt and Mike headed to Texas to load up a tractor trailer load of Model As and Parts. We decided the 1929 Ford Model A Pickup would make a perfect hot rod parts hauler. Matt and the crew spent the next year turning this rusty and rusty pickup into a killer hot rod!

This gives me hope that I still have time to build a hot rod before I go to the scrap yard.

[@Hotrodford]

Ah! to be young again to have the energy Matt has to continually work on these projects. It ain’t easy. I used to have that kind of energy to work all day.

[@chuckb9867]

I think I have the same bug is you I'll take even being 40 again or 50

[@josephklein8160]

I always did this kind of stuff growing up now I'm 57yrs old and after many injuries and surgeries those days are over. I wish I had the ability to do one more cool ride

[@amunoz2046]

U kno there are drugs for that now..... Lol.

[@mediumjumbo7484]

Ibuprofen helps 😊

[@billbeyer657]

You guys make it look so easy. Masterful job.

[@estepcreativedesign3744]

Y’all sure make hot rod builds look easy. All I lack is skills, experience, and funds. 😹

[@alicemoon9008]

Good People - Awesome Car’s ….. No Comment’s - Great 👍🏼 Job ….. Hi 👋 from Chertanovo Chopper’s Custom Club ….. Moscow City 🌆 ….. Russia 🇷🇺 …..

[@roberthocking9138]

I enjoy these time lapse vids now and then, it’s good if you haven’t had the time to follow the whole series 👍

[@kevinbarrett9615]

Great video ! Music is so well done. One of your most cool builds, I think you should have the Iron Trap logo on the doors that would befit a work truck.

[@stantilton2191]

Love to see the old iron being saved and kept on the road. Awesome job!

[@benthere801]

I saw all the individual videos as you were building this, but it is even better to see the start to finish. More of these

[@jimstratfordfl]

Great compilation video on the shop truck. Now it needs “Iron Trap Garage,Boyertown, Penn.” on the doors in script like the meat truck. Hey, and also show it doing parts runs for the shop.

[@chuckb9867]

You're so right love it

[@bradgoodwin1859]

Matt, Mike, and Steve you guys have more knowledge and talent in your big toes than 90 percent of the world has in their whole body. Love the shop truck it's super cool.

[@wiltonsspeedshop6850]

One of my favorite builds!

[@hotrodmyk]

Followed along from the beginning of this build. The truck is just too cool, love it!

[@MortskeRepair]

That thing is flippin cool Matt! You shoulda saved some of that gas tank sand and made yourself a little hourglass. Thanks again for putting this together Mike!

[@matthewlawson5350]

Awe inspiring, I have a 26 Roadster Pick up and this is the look I'm going for. I haven't found the time yet. But this year coming is looking good. Thank you Matt and crew for all the amazing content and inspiration. Matt from down under (Australia),

[@bigdaddydellnunya5830]

Great vid great cars and content but the best thing is minimal talking just working i love it

[@terrancesweeney1870]

All I can say Matt is well done! From day one in Texas to work in process to the fine video that was produced to the finished pickup.

[@chrisclark4813]

Fabulous video. (Nothing else to add). Love from Reading, England.

[@jiplix]

Excellent production, held my interest from the start. Thanks for the effort.

[@handyhippie6548]

i'm a truck guy so it's safe to say this is my absolute fave build of yours, hands down. i can only hope my '36 turns out as good. i finally have all of my parts in a pile until i find out what i don't, i can start the body work this fall, and hopefully have it together come next spring.

[@1954shadow]

Now, I’m torn between the, “Shop Truck,” and the, “Schroll Coupe.”

[@patrickbass3542]

It takes BAAALLLLLS to bend a front axle like that!!!!!!

[@lewisquick1018]

What a great hot rod truck. From the dusty Texas panhandle barn to driving around PA. Good job, saved another one.

[@hdvette64]

Fantastic, cruising the back roads, smelling the fresh cut hay, the warm air and the cold air at night oh yeah. There’s even room for a cooler.✌️

[@mikakari9498]

Thank you guys for inspiring me to build my ’28 Model A Hot Rod. 👍

[@thierrymaggiorino3664]

magnific hot rod 🤩😍 very very very ...COOL!!!😎 a monster job 🛠👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you are the best proffessional ... thank you very much for the partage..

[@brucesmallwood6251]

Love the recap video. I followed you guys through the original video's of this build.

[@TheGraytOutdoors]

There’s no way I can emphasize how envious I am of the vehicles you guys put out.. this truck is incredible.. can’t begin to tell you how cool it would be to tour the US with this thing.. go places I’ve always wanted to see in a car that may have never gotten go.. I also have a KZbin channel and cruising from town to town in that, making my content.. man.. what an adventure of a lifetime.. great job gentlemen..

[@vinniejohns7895]

I love the way it sounds. That thumpin' V8 sound.

[@olronholleran1310]

Gota give you an Atta boy on this one, I admire your workmanship. Take care Gramps

[@Mega270885]

Hi i'm a Car mechanic from German,i like what you Do!Thank you for this great Video 👍👍👍

[@leeroyholloway4277]

Probably my favorite build you guys have done. Thanks !!

[@Telephony954]

Way kool. I remember the rust bucket the first time it was pulled from its deathbed. way kool. Thanks for sharing. Way kool.

[@mopar4656]

I'd completely forgotten what you started this project with! Turned into a really neat little pickup; top job!

[@scottmartin356]

Could believe how good it sounded when it rolled out of the trailer!

[@CapnBubbaa]

Great to see it driving... All you need to build are the wooden sideboards for the box "IronTrap logo & signage"

[@willymccoy3427]

Love that truck. It's definitely a keeper.

[@wolfgangricky]

My favorite build so far. Only thing missing is a raccoon tail, lol. Ty for taking us along

[@randomyank7777]

Nice wrap up video . I remember you getting that . Thought at first it was another one , until I saw the engine you were putting in it . Then I knew this was the "shop truck" . Love the way it sounds , & runs , & looks . Turned out nice . The video may have been 30 minutes , but it took you gents a bit longer than that to get it all together , then paint & rebuild it to this point . Still love this build . I'm glad you did this post to see some of the footage we never saw before , when you were doing the videos on this project . Loaded with great "how to" expertise . Rock on ITG !

[@iguanaamphibioustruck7352]

What a great project car. It gives respect to old as well a new technology. It is far beyond what the original people had in mind. It is the initiative we need today to progress beyond software and AI. You cannot replace a situation where several human minds address a problem and come up with a solution, over and over again. Cut and fit, Throw away and start over. review and change, get outside comment, I love it. The process could create a dream but you need the dream. Iguana

[@mikeanderson2730]

All honor to you guys that finally start to break the horrible "patina" trend. This is what a cool hot rod would look like if it was built back in the days, of course you would give your creation a layer of paint! And what a creation it is, an absolutely wonderful little truck. I wish you many, many lovely cruises with this little treasure..

[@terryeustice5399]

Matt you jump right into these builds.And you’re great at it. Plus you and your staff are all over it. Love all the dedication to making these rods And showing almost a compleat build .Thank you so much for sharing with us. 💯❤️

[@terrykeithley6183]

Mint, Mint, Mint, love the shop truck. Moon rocks.

[@bigbelconut]

Has to be the coolest shop truck ever. So happy to see a flat head in it. It looks like you used an old army blanket for seat cover, I had my dad's blanket from when he was in Korea. I could not imagine wrapping my self up in it, talk about itch city. Great job, keep the videos coming.

[@MrGixxer1300r]

Awesome content!! I followed this build, and it is great seeing a recap of the build from start to finish. That truck is a very peroid corect hotrod that would be a favorite at any classic car show or event. I can only imagine it has to be fun to drive with the supercharger, and built motor. Thanks for sharing Matt,

[@michaelguinn5736]

Morning Matt , Steve & Mike...Matt you have one of the happiest dogs in the world!! I truly enjoy your videos which as you know inspired me to build our 31 Ford Coupe using many of your techniques!! Y'all be safe!! God Bless!!

[@ejtakach]

Loving the complete story!😊

[@brianhayes7618]

Very cool transformation thanks for sharing

[@ronaldfarmer1208]

Looks like a good ride

[@ericargo9157]

Ford RPU's are cool as Hell IMO. But I'm a Ford truck guy. 51 F1, 52 F3 and a 70 F250. I'm currently looking at a project 29 RPU to buy. You can never have a enough old Ford trucks. Great video.

[@curtcooper9447]

It was a fun worthwhile project loved the whole build thanks

[@craigmoore7521]

That turned out badass!!! Well done!!! Love the sound of a flat head.

[@nebcrabula]

When you got that thing, it was a pile of crap but you saw its potential. I looks like a fun ride. I enjoyed watching you work on this project. I like its rusty look and usability and you dont have to worry about getting a scratch on it compared to some pristine car.

[@johnkranz4004]

Very KOOL Shop truck Matt and Steve

[@bonzokaye]

What a beautiful sound, I loved to creep up behind cars like that just to listen, please mount a mic behind so we can hear it again

[@johnhouseholder7682]

Love recap videos,thanks John from Arizona

[@toddmendez4544]

What a transformation from what it was! Right up there with the schroll coupe!

[@thomasst.martin3308]

And the adventure comes together. Excellent.

[@Meeckle]

Really impressed with the choice of fill music!!

[@terryeustice5399]

You and your crew did this build right before our eyes. That truck is cool. Thanks again for sharing! ❤️💯

[@user-fg3cl9si5z]

Great job. Looks like it runs out well

[@robschaffer2189]

Perfect parts getter! What a fun looking little pickup!

[@patmccarthy5069]

Great video and what an awesome way to enjoy a test ride in a cool hot ride among great scenery. The test ride probably took hours. Hahaha. Great job!!

[@levidbateman5174]

Real nice simple ride… great job!

[@ontarget4076]

If all of my projects could be done in 30 minutes like this guy does! Awesome parts runner!

[@barryakers9085]

Love it it has to be a blast to drive

[@HogshooterHotrods]

Awesome video, I know Matt did the work but Mike the editor is killing it!!

Yeppers that is really neat 🥰. Thanks 👍 for sharing. Really enjoyed the content ☺️.

Great video Thanks Watching from Seguin Texas

[@AC-gj4ze]

Just love this truck❤ a true hotrod.

[@MLFranklin]

Sweet truck. I want one!

[@pinwizz69]

Boy would I love to see a movie from when these trucks were new and over 90 percent were delivered by train to rural depots in crates unassembled and buyers had to pick them up and assemble them. That's where the term "pickup truck" came from. It was Ford who began that because there was a large dealership system in existence then. Ya had to bring tools with you and assemble them right off the train. Most people had a local mechanic or even blacksmiths along to help. Matt, Mike and Steve would be in mechanics heaven if they found one in the crate.

[@jeffpitzer8521]

I really enjoy this kind of format...start to finish...that RPU really looks like a lot of fun! I'm building a 32 Phantum RPU. No completion date on the horizon. Have too much "LIFE" in the way. I'm really happy for you, that (it seems) you're living your dream. Keep on Hot Rodding!😊

[@richardphelan8414]

Awesome Rig I have a large soft spot for early Ford Pickups ,I had a 35 when i was 16 it was a really cool truck it had a 48 Merc,Flathead Offie heads two 97s and juiced brakes .

[@squidgameisaliarisawnosqui5341]

Just love it great video ty Steve

[@tomlappin9657]

Very cool roadster pickup...not too many pickups out there...glad you built this cool roadster shop truck

[@lamarw9901]

That's some sand, I didn't know we'd have a spring break beach video. :) Keep the good work coming.

[@josepheshleman2063]

I love the sound of a flat head v8.

[@onehotpinto]

Followed this build from Texas to present. Very satisfying! Would look great pulling the little car trailer (the one that didn't tow well with the A on it) with the restored track roadster. I would get some magnetic door signs for it also.

[@steveclark4291]

That's a real cool shop truck !

[@jamesmatheson5115]

Cool little rig, I like it.

[@pinwizz69]

Turning out to be a really good Sunday for my KZbin channel list feeds. Mustie1 followed by Watch Wes Work now Iron Trap Garage. I wonder what's next KZbin is going to throw in my feed. That truck is definitely one of the coolest builds for the Trap. Gotta turn some heads on parts and supply runs into town.

[@marklawson8346]

Cool motor and a fantastic sound 😊👍🏻

[@64Dasani]

Still one of my favorites!

[@timsmith1589]

Cool video and yes it did inspire me. I picked up an 8ba and ordered a part from you so I can keep the engine closed up while I find a tudor to put the flatty in to

[@charleschampion1506]

Dude that's bad ass!! I really wanna start building my model A!

[@davidsolloway9349]

Very enjoyable episode ... thanks.

[@outfitsgarage88]

You guys have the coolest channel on KZbin I've found. I've watched everything from will it starts to drag racing to cooking and still come back to Iron Trap Garage for my old hot rod fix. We build what we can but you make cool "cool".....

[@aneuno2]

Amazing. my dream truck.

[@danielkeel9265]

Cool as guys! Yes I watched this build all the way through! Impressed as hell by how quickly this one came together! Absolutely Bitchin! Unfortunately I'm flat out rebuilding my motorbike at present, getting the engine rebuilt after 100 000miles is gonna take all my resources for some time, but I'm getting your excitement at getting the Shop Truck up and running, looking forward to that feeling when my old gurl (it's a 1991!) hits the road again! Congratulations!

[@reneprovencher8395]

This is a great video. Great editing, great music and it kept my attention. Good stuff guys!!!👍👍👍👍👍

[@jeffd.8917]

Love it. Great work.

[@MASI_forging]

You did a great job. 👍👍

[@SRobison1931]

Awesome truck 👌

[@HotRodDave]

Cool Truck

[@stevenkarnisky411]

Five thumbs up on this one! Other than the rusty wheel wells this is a great looking build! Simple, stark, but elegant! Looks like a great runner, too. Moon approved! Even the music was great!

[@craigcaggiano431]

Very cool video, where you put it together and drive it in one video. Really enjoyed this video Matt.

[@philholder7983]

Cool truck!
