33 ford pickup on 32 rails..possiable? pics

howdy from New Mexico i was wondering if you guys might know if a 33 ford truck body would fit on a 32 frame. if so what type of modifications were need..if any at all. also is there any pics out there of this combo.
thanks

Yes you can put a 33 on 32 rails. The biggest difference between the two is the firewall.

32s have a detatchable firewall like the 32 p***enger cars. 33s and 34s have a firewall that extends into the engine compartment a couple more inches and it's spot welded to the cowl.

Depending on what kind of engine you run, you may have to put a reccess in the firewall, or you could probably move the cab back a couple inches if needed.

 

Here's one (the owner told me exactly that: '33 cab on '32 rails).

 

sweet, thanks guys..and fab problems? or a direct fit?

 

I own a '32 pickup with '33 cab. Everything fits, even the protruding firewall.
Beds can likely be interchanged with some work--they are the same basic dimensions, but holes and moldings for fender are farther back on '33=4 because of longer wheelbase.

 

thanks bruce. if i run it fenderless, doe the body line up with the frame or does it protrude out p*** the frame?
