    I thought that in 1932 ford was still using the trucks that were 30-31 style(model a )and then changed body style like halfway through the year or in 33 ?? iam probly wrong but i have a friend with a '32 a-body pickup also and its all original and thats the story i got from him,also i think his is a 3/4 or one ton truck (A A ?)

    My lazy ass never put together my 32truck and have a picture of yours in the Garage on how the perfect shop truck looks!!

    Thanks Buddy Just take-in-tin out of the 815:D

    I have to say the T has made well over a dozen guys smile in the last few weeks. With some of my buddies Test Tuning it:D, WICKED FAST! It'll lay rubber anytime anygear.(Spins the N-50-15 like skinnys, wish we could hook up better and the locker isn't helping) We haven't found someone to hit fourth gear yet. Really!

    Thanks Aaron, and from one of the Largest Horders in the 217 just trying to catch up buddy:D. So what the dash suppose to look like? any extra parts?

    Great looking truck, just go thru the mechanicals, make it safe and get it back on the road the way it is.

    That is beyond cool, I keep telling people all the good stuff isn't gone it's just buried deeper in the garages and sheds. Nobody believes my Stude was found only 15 miles from here. Nobody had ever seen it.


    All trucks in Illinois were required to have the owner's name and city/town painted on them up to about the mid-60's or so. My Uncle even had to have his name painted on his El Camino.

    As previously posted this is a come as you are Truck . Like me allways trying to start em first and tempted to get them in gear . MM not far from Elgin should start reading the papers a bit more . Great find they are in this area yet but very elusive as you stated . Been watching for a 32 sedan that no one knows its value also .

    Thanks Guys, I really wasn't looking for another project but couldn't pass it up. Plus didn't really know the condition of the truck with all the Junk around it and a family of Squirrels guarding it.:eek:
    Well got her to burp and fart a few time and think the motor may be shot. The timing / dizzy jumped position on TDC, timing chain I'm thinking. Took the intake,valve covers and all llook good clean and no issues?

    Some guys have all the luck! I don't suppose this means you want to sell me the 32 coupe you had at the Hunnert Car Pile-up to make room eh? (it'd be a good replacement for my recently destroyed Model A ;))
     
  30. Cool truck John.

    Nice find for sure.
