Technical 32-34 pickup

has anyone ever mounted a 32-34 pickup cab on a 35-40 frame? could it be mated together to do a full fenderd pickup? just curious

 

Why?

Chevy or Ford? Is is safe to ***ume chevy because of your username?

The word "ABORTION" is the word that comes to mind,and no,it wouldn't be mated together to run fenders.

Seen a complete 34 ch***is just posted on the H.A.M.B. For sale.
Do it right or throw your work and money at something you'd be embarr***ed to will to your kids.

 

'35 to '40 Ford frames are much wider than a '32-'34 ... memory says almost 2" per side... dashes are about 4" wider... frame has a 2"plus rise from the cowl toward the front x member, may have to chop your grill and trim your hood sides ?
where '32 fenders bolt to the frame top they are almost flat with a slight rise toward the front... '33-'34 fenders / frame have a 2" or so arch built into them...
'35-'40 ch***is had the front axle moved back behind the x member which may change its arch...
you could replace the front and rear crossmembers with model As and rework the x members and then slide the rails closer together so they match the firewall measurements of your cab...

.......think petejoe has it right...
a '32 wheelbase is 106", '33-'34 wheelbase is 112"... similar measurements from the cab forward so ... IMO. the '33-'34 box can be a little worktruck looking...
decide now before you buy...
... good luck, have fun...
