Would it be worth buying a 1932 ford truck cab that the bottom has been cut all the way up to the bottom of the second door hinge for $600
no too much money back of cab patch panel is 250 door skin patch 60.00 fronts are 70.00 .That doesn't include the door bottom .Hinges are worth buying ,I 'd offer him between 3 and 4 tops.
If the roof comes with it go 500.00 If thats what you want.It will be hard to fit into and drive ,These trucks are small inside.
I think roofs will cost you around 300 or 400 .Saw some awhile back on Ebay.Id keep looking ,My buddy sold my extra 34 cab for around 900 .Also keep in mind garnish moldings and window regulaters and locking mechanisms are extremely pricey.Im fortunate ,I have all this stuff for my 32 truck.Im gonna get slammed here for this ,Have you considered a fiberglasss car.For 1000 You can get a 27 roadsterbody...
I also checked your album do you have a motor for your car.Sometimes its better to stick with one project.That's all Im writing the rest is up to you.Goodluck in whatever decision you make.
Run, don't walk, away from this deal unless you have deep pockets to buy the missing pieces, and the patience of Job (biblical reference) to find them. There are deals out there. I just purchased a complete '32 cab with roof/firewall/dash/windshield mouldings and all door guts for $800. These normally sell for $2000 + on the 'bay.
I've done several of these trucks, and Larry is right RUN!!!!!!!!!! There are cabs out there just be patient. I usually part them out if there's no takers on a complete unit. Normally come out ahead.
Window regs are about 60 tops of door parts are impossible to find .Youl end up having to spend thousands finding parts ,Id pass.
