Great thread, don't know how I missed it before. What size spare tyres are folks getting to fit in the sidemount fender? My '32 truck had a 5.50-18 in there when I got it, but now it has 16" wheels I'm damned if I can squeeze a 5.50-16 on a 4" rim in there. This looks like it might be a 4.50-16?
Here's the truck after I narrowed the bed....subtle change but I think proportions are better.Still would like to put either 32 or Model A bed on it...shortened some. Bought some 58 Chev Bel-aire taillights,but need to get them re-chromed before installing
Looks much better with new deck. Before it looked like someone had dropped a slab of ply on and added sides with no thought to stand back and check it out.
Question, are 32 pickup cowl vents different to 34 P up. And 32 car?? We have a 32 P up with a mint cowl vent door but no mechanism, the lower vertical part of vent is not 90 degrees to vent as it is on our 3W or our previous 34 P UP. We lack the lever and pivot, will a car one fit???
Thanks. I don't really want to be cutting and widening the well in the fender but it is looking that way. I wonder if the '34 fenders have a wider slot than '32s?
That wouldn't surprise me; the wheels were a different diameter, and the stock tire sections probably differed too.
Here is the '33 I just dragged home. On the back burner while I gather parts up. Happy to finally get one!
I'm about 13 months into this 32 project, and there are a few issues left to be resolved, but she is running and sounds great.
Druss here on the HAMB shot this video of me in the '34 heading up I-95 to a breakfast last Saturday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AvpIDJoq6E&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Still moving along, just went to the local gl*** guy and retrieved my windshield frame, back gl*** frame, and side gl*** channels. He had this stuff since mid July, and told me several times he was almost done. Why keep somebody hanging like that? Drove it all down to Service Gl*** in Pontiac after several recomendations. These guys really seem to have their act together, said a week or so, would be great. Took a couple more pics, need to go for a ride.
