The Ford Barn

SoCal32 · 09-29-2023, 12:52 PM

I'm inventorying/gathering the parts for my 3-window. The front sheetmetal has been disassembled for 50+ years (Previous owner). I'm trying to figure out the apron that goes in front of the lower radiator tank and behind the lower grille apron. Is it the grey one? It doesn't match the paint from all my other pieces and the edges look too sharp. But it does seem to fit the area between the framehorns. The other longer "pan" looks like it goes with the car but not sure where. Is the longer one a 34 part?

That long one doesn't look like anything on my 34. Different year maybe? David will know.

Thanks Pete, that clears up the shield question. Hopefully someone can clear up the longer one.

I just followed a hunch I had and ended up identifying the other apron as a 53-56 F100 part.

The short long one in your first two photos fits directly beneath the radiator, but you have it in place backwards in your second photo.

the long long one, as noted above, is not a '34 Ford passenger car component.

If your doing a restoration, there are slight differences between the 33 and 34 pan 16550
