    Could be. Your rationale?

    Thanks, Bill. Another rabbit hole to investigate! I sent emails to Ravon and Eagle , will see what they come back with.
    If I can't positively identify the body, I might have to abandon the rolled rear pan idea; I know that would make a lot of the HAMB happy...LOL.
     
  3. "I might have to abandon the rolled rear pan idea"

    If you want a rolled pan buy a fiberglass one and make it fit.

    I see no reason to abandon your plan for a rolled pan just because you can't identify the body. Many were made over the years by different mfg's and unless your body varies (drastically) I can't imagine not being able to make one from another mfg work.

    That's probably what I'll do... but I have been pricing 32 tanks and hiboy frame horn covers.. ;-)

    Looks good!
    Your frame horns look a lot better than mine. I've got 86 year old Henry Steel I pulled out of a barn. They're solid, but quite a bit of rust pitting, and a little banged up...

    My 2 cents worth----An out fit called DaVicky out of Kankakee Illinois has been making bodies for many years. They sold some "you hang the doors and deck lid" kits. Same fire wall details and door out line (from the mold) if I recall correctly. Bill

    I'll agree with that statement ! Real junk.
     
  9. There is only one reason I would NOT run a rear tank in a 32 - QUICKCHANGE!. And if I ran a quickchange I would not hide it behind a rolled pan. But to each his own.

    It won't need frame horn covers unless you intend to run fenders.
