Projects 1932 pickup

Havent posted in awhile! Got the truck back up and running recently. It was decommissioned for a few months due to some fueling and brake issues. But now that its all together Im driving the tires off of it. Ive succesfully put more miles on the truck in the last week then over the last 3 years of owning!

Plans
Smooth out and finish chop (cab and bed)
repair door bottoms and cab corners
one color
DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE!

Also Ill see you guys at TROG. Getting the truck striped by a local buddy of mine while Im down there.






^^^ From last night at its second home

 

Very nice, Love this truck!

 

Looks good and IMHO would be a big improvement if it were all on color but there are a lot of hot rods on the road that are in the same shape. HRP

 

Sweet truck. I gotta make a point of getting to that Race of Gentlemen event.

 

It's about damn time!!! If you drive it to my garage for a weekend I'll do the metal work! can't wait for the ROG. We will have to get some sick photos out there

Thanks! A little more inspiration for me, I scored a 34 frame to go under my 34 cab on Sunday!! I can't wait until I am driving my Hot Rod like you are yours!! Your 32 has a very similar look to the direction I am going. Go burn some fuel!!

 

Great profile on this truck. How much is the top chopped, and how much is the bed shortened?

 

Thanks HRP I agree but the body work has to get done first before anything else!

Ben I may take you up on that! HAHA

Alchemy. I cant take credit for the proportions. Forum member Flatpower did the top and the bed. Both were shortend 4 3/4".

 

I envy you, that is one awseome truck!

 

Reminds me a lot of BigKen's truck although not chopped. HRP

 

Great job. Nothing like finally getting them on the road. Now you can fine tune it to your liking when you have time.
Bobbin the bed or keeping it as is? Any fenders in the future?
Love the tire combo. Congrats

 

HRP that thing is BITCHEN! And he pulls the camper with it? Soo cool

Petejoe I like the bed as it is... About the fenders, Im torn. I like the look of no fender/wires but I think would add a lot of value and look pretty slick with full fenders. I think its going to stay fenderless for a while. But maybe not forever.

 

Ken and I were building our trucks at the same time and I was temped to go fender less but with the short bed I decided fenders were

 

BigKen's truck sure does look familiar......there's something about it that I like.......can't quite put my finger on it.......

 

There is just something about a 32-34 Ford pickup! HRP

 

if you walk out to the shop you could put your finger on it

 

Both of these pick ups are cool. Drmrman, congratulations on getting the pickup back on the road. Have some fun at TROG for me, wish I could make it, maybe next year.

 

Woo!

 

I must admit that I'm somewhat prejudiced about these old trucks.

I absolutely love the way yours sits. Wow!

 

Some got fenders,some don't,I love them all! HRP

 

I like em nekkid.....

 

One thing about no fenders. If you are driving through "liquid sunshine" nobody follows you very closely. Rooster tails!

 

The cops do.....! But not for long......

 

I like em even more nekkid!-MIKE

 

Awesome pickups! But only one with a flatty.... COMMON! HAHA Thats bitchen sidevalve!

 

Well we will have to change that.....

 

The red wires/white walls look awesome with the grill! Sweet

 

i also love these old trucks

 

My friend, Jon Carey's ('34, I believe) open wheel daily driver with a '24 Holmes wrecker rig.

 

Awesome trucks guys! Keep em coming!

So got some unofficial news this morning. But it looks like Ill see some of you on the beach in oct! shhhhhh!
