Thread: '32 ford truck

Tweet

i had a 34 ford pickup i was building when i was 11 years old it was chop and drop on the frame it did get very small on the in side finding a seat that were thin that fit good to the back of the cab was hard i used opel gt seats but should of made a bench. looking at yours just makes me wish i had it still .i could now easly made all the parts i needed for it .tried getting it back but it is junk now .

Pat,
To bad you can't get yours back in the condition you sold it at. I am using a Glide Engineering seat frame. I want a bench seat when I am done that's why I went to all the trouble to cut my frame and lower my floor boards. I will cut the center out of their frame and get it as low as I can for comfort and still retain the bench seat appearance. Although there won't be much padding in the middle. My wife stopped sitting next to me years ago so It won't matter.

Ken---Mine was a two door sedan when I started. I sliced, diced, chopped, and shortened it untill the cab fit me. I didn't even have a pickup or roadster pickup for reference when I was building mine.---I found out their measurements after mine was finished.

your.s sure looks geat. mine they drop from a loft all of 12 +feet on cement floor this was the guy i soild it to mine started as it was going to be a salt flat truck in the early 50.s and had the holes in the visor chop and drop . all the body was work in lead and a ardun flat head. it had some history. my dad got out of the army and pick it up 58/59 he put a hemi in it and i think traded a hemi for it

Wow, it sure looks proportionate, you did a heck of a job.

The good thing about these web sites is you get to meet a lot of nice people, the bad thing is most of them are to far away to visit. I would love to stop buy and look at all these cars.
Ken

i am glad you do not live close .you would have to wipe off all the droooole off your truck from me

Ken---Here's a picture of mine in the very early stages. I had it done this far before I bought a digital camera---Brian

I decided to make my truck a dump truck. Tomorrow I will install the gas shocks and bear claw latches and solenoids so it will open automatically. The gas tank will be under the bed so my bed will be empty.

yes i would do that to . why not show off that fine rear end

Been working on the truck. Floor and tunnel are almost done got the dash and gages in.

Ken your truck really looks sweet and I can hardly wait to see it finished in paint. How are things coming with the LS7 roadster? Keep up the quality work.

oh boy i see a polished quickchange in there can we get a good pic of that ? i have a winters comming for my 32 but i have to polish it ..

Here is the one in the truck, it's a Halibrand.

Thanks, most of my time has been working on the truck. I keep it at work and the roadster is at home. I have been getting some things done headers, gas tank, serpintine belt system, and working on the fuel system. But the truck is getting close so I am getting anxious now. The rear end in the roadster is a Winters, you should be happy with yours.

thanks for the pics that rear is beutifull !! did you do the polishing of that rear ? ive got to polish mine when it gets here
