Thread: Another '32 truck

Tweet

O.K. I think I finally figured out what I think it should look like. So if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
I want to chop it 5", section it 2" at the bottom keeping the body lines, channel it 6", extend the doors 1", and extend the back of the cab 1 1/2".
this should give me an overall height of 47" to 48" and still be comfortable to drive. I'm 6' even and 200#.
I will use the same style frame I built for the other truck, cutting the frame down from 6" to 3" in the interior of the truck.
thank you in advance if you can help me.

Ken: I think anything you can do to stretch the cab will help a lot. These cabs are short on head and leg room anyway, and when you do the chop, channel, and section you are planning, it really makes it even tighter. I've never cared for the really stretched pickup cabs, like the Speedway glass one, but the modest amount you are planning won't even be noticed, especially in the doors.

I had a '32 pckup years ago that was chopped about 3.5 and channelled about 5 inches, and the roof was very close to my head, and I am only 5.9.

The only thing I question is the section. Looks like you are looking for a sleeker profile ?
