From the firewall back a lot of the big truck chassis look very much alike. The trick is to make sure from just behind the firewall forward the 32 frame goes uphill slightly just like the car frames and is flat on top with frame horns like the car just heavier. The 33/34 truck chassis do the same but the rails have a slight curve on top. The front fenders look very much alike but the deuce is all by itself and is the same as a car fender except if it has a fenderwell spare and the fenderwell is larger than the car well. 32 chassis have 4 bolt holes in a square pattern where the front fender brace bolts on and the 33/34 has 3 bolts in a triangular pattern. Just a few differences that are easy to spot.

Thanks a lot guys, It's just what I needed, many thanks for the tips Krylon... Sounds like a good strong chassis for a hot rod, but if are 32 chassis maybe deserves to be saved as well !!, How many 32 trucks were build? Not many, I think!!

Leandro, I have a '32 BB truck and could take some specific pictures for you and send them to you via email. The truck is assembled so I would be limited to taking pictures from beneath the frame.

In the U.S., 36,063 BB trucks were produced (20,338 with a 131 1/2" wheelbase and 15,725 with a 157" wheelbase). The V-8 version was released very late in the model year and only 549 of the 36,063 were so equipped. A further 38,915 were produced outside of the U.S., of which 3,133 were V-8s.
