    There's a small 1952 B/W photo of it by Felix Zelenka in the 1985 or 86 "Best of Hot Rod" magazine

    Caption says "The hot rod of the month was Roy Desbrow's chopped and channeled '32 pickup. Painted '50 Mercury 'cream' by Tom Noel who also did most of the bodywork. A '41 Ford bumper was used in front and nerf bars used in the back.

    I first saw a photo of this truck in the 1981 "The Best of Hot Rod" magazine retrospective book and I still love its timeless good looks.
