The Ford Barn

Made the deal today and get it delivered tomorrow.

Plans are to make it safe and on the road for this summer...then see over the next winter what I want to do for changes.

It's about 99.9% original 33,000 mile pickup that needs some TLC.
It has sat for a lot of years.

Barry-ct · 03-07-2012, 02:29 PM

Looks like a fun project!

I picture a Hall DOHC on that 4 banger.

Congratulations! The engine compartment looks about as original as you'll ever find (like the clip for the original wiring harness on the dash [firewall], etc.). It's a really neat pickup!

Welcome to the club. If you haven't done so, go the the early ford v-8 site and buy the 1932 ford book.

2935ford · 03-07-2012, 02:59 PM

Thank you everyone
.
I've been told the clutch is "frozen" to the flywheel.
Any ideas on how to free it w/o pulling everything apart?

2935ford · 03-07-2012, 03:00 PM

Thanks jim1932. I'll have a look.

2935ford · 03-07-2012, 03:01 PM

Ol' Ron, that would be something, wouldn't it!

Old Henry · 03-07-2012, 03:08 PM

What a great find!

ct1932ford · 03-07-2012, 03:23 PM

Lots of work! You should sell it to me

Nice Find!

Vic Piano · 03-07-2012, 03:24 PM

Very COOL! Have fun with it.

2935ford · 03-07-2012, 03:32 PM

ct1932ford, you wouldn't believe what I went through to get this!

bige386 · 03-07-2012, 03:44 PM

Now thats a nice looking 32. I regret selling my 29. Those old 4 banger sound so sweet. Have fun with it.

Mike in AZ · 03-07-2012, 03:48 PM

pretty sweet.....enjoy.....Mike

2935ford · 03-07-2012, 03:51 PM

Thank you bige386 and Mike in AZ, I plan to.

To unstick the clutch just tow it in gear with your foot on the pedal, you'll here a bang and the motor will stop spinning over.Our old truck only got used in the hay season and clutch was froze every time,we would tow it with a tractor and ram it into gear with the foot on the pedal and worked everytime. The first way I descibed is easier on the gearbox.cheers tony.

2935ford · 03-07-2012, 05:37 PM

Thanks kiwitony. Seems kinda harsh but if it works, I'm happy. Should I have anything to worry about once it's loose or just drive it if there aren't clunking/banging sounds?

Nice find!! Lot of possibilities with that B engine.
