SoCal Plating '35 Ford Pheaton
Jimmy Summers performed some of the body work on this great early customized truck.
The later version had "regular" headlights instead of the hidden version used when the car was first built. Jimmy did those headlights and is by some also credited for the rest of the body work.

The Rodders Journal issue #36 has an excelent story on the truck by Pat Ganahl.
