Technical 1946 Ford truck chassis

I just recently scored a cool 1946 truck cab with a chop. Just wonering if anybody ever fit one on a 32 ch***is. There will only be a bed, cab and grill.
thanks Guys

 

Why would you want to put it on a 32 ch***is? Wouldn't the cab be a little wide for that combo?

 

I take it you mean a new reproduction '32 ch***is? You wouldn't want to do that to an original. This gets done a lot. Just look up pictures on google. You might prefer to use a '33-'34 frame. It'll get you lower and you'll have a bit more space. Also these are a lot easier and cheaper to find than a '32. An original '33-'34 frame is also quite a bit stronger.

 

I will explore the 33 34 frame idea. I only thought a 32 because there are so many. I don't think the cab is much wider than a 32 to 34 cab. It is just more round.

 

It's a bolt on for a 39-40 ch***is with no mods required,

 

It's definitely wider. May not look it. But if you had them side by side then you would see it.

39-40 brings new problems though for the type of vehicle he wants to build. Specifically the spring in front of axle front end. Also both crossmembers drop down a lot. It'd be more work getting a 40 frame so sit right than getting the cab to fit the 33. I love the 39-48 frames and use them a lot, but I blow them apart and modify the hell out of them.

 

got a good 1946-47 ford truack frame in charlotte nc bare stock one $200.00 704-267-2525

 

Can you put some pictures up of your 46 frame. I'm building mine and could use some original pictures. Thank you.
