For Dad – Parkcrest Heating ’40 Pickup
Filed Under (General, Projects) by Frank C

“Deuce Guy” Larry Zilinsky contacted me a while back to tell me about a project he was working on. Larry said:
I thought I’d send some pics of the ’40 Ford pickup I’m doing now. The story is that in the 50′s when I was growing up, my Dad (in the pic) had a business called Parkcrest Heating. So when I decided to build a ’40 Ford pickup rat rod, I thought I’d do it as a reincarnation / barn find /shop truck, complete with Tremclad rust flat black paint polished through – patina’d with SBC, 4 speed, whites, etc. Just a great driver & fun truck! My Dad was in tears when he saw what I was doing! Makes a guy feel good!”

Larry, thanks for sharing. More photos HERE >>

I love stories like this. A car build will always bring a tear to a mans eye when done from the heart. I love it.

Very cool truck. Are you planning to give the paint some patina or leave it flat ?

I’m Larry’s dad, Thank you all for the nice comments on Larry’s truck project. I appreciate very much what he is doing
That started a small business that lasted for over 35 years and I enjoyed every day of it. FJZ
