First year for the Plymouth truck.....cannot wait to see it. It's one of my favorite looking trucks. Yes, MoPars are tough to find information on. I have been studying them for about 50 years.

In 32 Plymouth built the PA (curved back window) PB (no visor square back window) and PC (five window).. quite a year Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
So, I take it that a 32 may or may not have an oval back glass but definitely will not have a visor? My guy's car is a 3 window with visor and oval BW. I don't recall the door top shape.
Actually the PC production was started in 1932 but the PC was an 1933 Plymouth, with 6 Cylinder engine. The 1932 PAs were "Thrift" models and had the oval rear window. The oval rear window started in 1930 with the "NEW FINER" "U" series Plymouth. This was an all steel body. The 1932 PB's were still FOUR Cylinder engines, had dual cowl vents that went through the hood. They were considered "COWLLESS" as the hood went all the way back to the windshield. I own two 1932 PB Roadsters and 1932 PB Four door sedan. as well as 1933 PC Dual Side-mount sedan and 1933 PCxx sedan and 1933 PD Sedans and Coupe. There were many changes and they are mis-interpreted all over the internet.
Thanks, Leroy. I guess running changes and "available parts" usage help to muddy the waters for ID-ing, also. Would ANY 1932 have a visor, do you think?
Can you educate me a little. I have a 32 PB three window and I want to run a visor. Will the PA visor fit? Im looking at one but it just says 30-31-32 plymouth visor. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
I have never seen a PB with a visor, but I imagine that if you altered the angle and mounting area, it could possibly work. You can make pretty much anything fit, but it's a matter of how good it looks after it's been altered. The idea of the no visor look in the 1932 PB was to infer some streamlining. A visor would negate that look in my opinion.
I think that is an excellent point, it does give a boxy squareness about it. I'm looking for sleek luxurious custom flow. Thanks you have helped me pick a direction.
here's pics of my 31 Plymouth I built years ago (first hot rod build) and sold to build my deuce. kept the motor tho. I didn't have a visor but it was really easy to make the aluminum one that I put on it. I ran the serial number that's on the rh door jam thru a website that indicated it was a Windsor Canada built 31 . My grill was missing as well so I ended up sourcing the grill thru hemmings and the shell thru the 'bay. I think the car would've looked better with fenders. I've seen them chopped as well but that beauty oval window ends up as a catseye. Lots of room in these cars and very stout frames esp boxed.
For the last few days I was thinking maybe I should build this car fenderless. Its a whole lot less work. After looking at yours I am not sure if thats my best idea. I'm not quite sure what to do now. It doesnt look bad, just not quite what I was looking for. Sent from my SCH-S720C using H.A.M.B. mobile app
Im going full fender. I want that $100k street rod drool factor. If I was going pure muscle hot rod with massive burnouts it would be fenderless and loud. So I'm building a 32 three window Plymouth, full dress with a six speed and electronic fuel injection. What is everyone's opinion: stroker small block or stroker big block. I'm killing myself trying to decide.
A stroker small block would leave more room for things like headers between the frame rails, and maybe a little less nose weight. Gene
I like the basic car. I thought with fenders on I would remove the side panels showing off the Hemi. I am not a flame guy either. I also would rather have a more traditional paint with some steel wheels and hubcaps. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I like the idea of a small block stroker. A whole lot easier fit than a big block. I hope your thinking Mopar power Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I just recently got a 31 Plymouth coupe, I'm still planning on what to do with it, but stock is not an option, right now I have a few leads on early Hemi's, and am leaning towards a clutch pedal, and maybe leaving the paint and interior alone for now. Pics in next post
Absolutely a mopar power plant. Everything will be mopar. I have a blown 415 stroker in my 70 cuda and love it. Lots of torque.
Thats what I like to hear. All Mopar!! I chose a desoto hemi beause I found one that should run, that was reasonable, and they fit the narrower frames better than dodge and chrysler hemis. I am not looking for huge power but will most likely build it up a little. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Pretty sure these were taken in 1972 at the Detroit Nationals. It appears to be parked on Woodward Ave. in front of the fairgrounds. We went in dad's '34 3W and I remember seeing this one!
Jimcolwell, that's exactly the direction I'm heading, except I have a real soft spot for clutch pedals. A guy I work with has a 39 Dodge coupe with a 354 and a 700r chevy trans, it works real good, my boss has a 58 392 with a 671 and a 700r chevy trans, seems to be the easy way to go, what trans is the most common in your area? And I hope the original poster doesn't get pissed off at me,if so tell me and I'll back off, I'm not trying to steal this thread.
