The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

I don't see a 32-34 truck thread yet so I'll start by posting pics of one I no longer own Maybe someone knows where it is today.

Nice pick up

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

Here's a '34 PU I'd love to get back. I sold this to Frank Root in 1973. An expanding family forced me to sell it after 13 years. It didn't look like this, but I sure did have a lot of fun with it as a high school kid. Frank took 25 years to get it done and has been driving the wheels off of it for the last 10 or so years.

Here is a picture of my 33. It used to be my Dad's, he got it in 1953 from some freinds of the family that bought it new and used it on there farm. This truck has stayed within a 15 mile radius of where it was bought new......

Here is "Merlot", the 1934 Pickup that I have owned since 1957. I finished the restoration in June 2009. He now is powered by a 1954 Meteor (Mercury) engine.

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

Please don't get upset but my first 34pu took a lot of work and I know rods are frowned upon here but it was snatched from being bulldozed under for a lake. All I had was a rusted cab & frame - no running gear etc.

'Lil Red is my current ride and she has been fun - although not as easy to drive as the 1st one.

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

How 'bout some B76 open cabs (roadster pickups)? Who has some photos to post of those?

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

Danny, what color is this?

Thanks, Jim

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

Jim,it appears to be a real faded blue with a lot of surface rust,,he keeps it oiled to prevent it from getting any worse.. HRP

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

Is that the commercial color Blue Rock Green?

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

I don't know,,it could be,,
it does appear to be a blue-greenish looking color. HRP

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

Here is my work in progress. This is the day I bought it. Cup of Joe and roll of duct tape. It now has a flatty in it hooked to a T-5. Hope to be driving next year. Al K.

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

What rear did you use? ratio? coil overs or transverse spring? Cornhuskers kit for the T-5?

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

The grand kids love this one.

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

My first post. Here's Ernie (tan and black, totally original). Owned him 3 years. Here's Asa (primer) owned him 41 years. Modern running gear.

Here's a dealer brochure of truck body styles-ENJOY!

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

Here's one- I drive it during the summer on the country roads around the lakes in Minnesota.

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

Here's one that I brought home in 2004 and sold it a couple years later. As always, I sure wish I had not done that and still had this one!!

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

Hi, Jack 34PU, my PU came with the 351 and automatic with a 9" with 3.25 gears. If I do my math right, the standard 3 speed and 3.78 rear has a combined ratio of between 10.54 and 13.23 depending on the first gear ratio. My 3.76 first gear and 3.25 rear give a 12.22 ratio. I'm thinking i will be OK. If it needs to go lower, there are plenty of gears out there for the 9 inch. I would have liked something lighter than the 9" but it was in when I got it home. Bought the adapter on E-bay and don't really know which it is. Fits good. Al K,

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

I said earlier I had a 32 pickup that is a hot rod and didn't think it belongs here but after the 3rd PM asking for a photo,,here it is,,HRP

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

This is the oicture of "Merlot" before I started the restoration in 1999.He had been in barn storage since 1969. I first bought it in 1957 in running condition.

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

Byron you've done a marvelous job. Here's Ernie (posted yesterday) before resurrection. Asa wasn't any better and even had a Chevy engine...now long gone!

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

Update 9/11/14 - This truck has been sold. It was on my list of things to do, but I realized I would never have time to do this with all my other projects having higher priority. So off it went to a good home in West Virginia.

If you are also talking about pictures of big trucks, here are a few of my '32 model B, 1-1/2 ton, 131" wb, stake bed truck. Note the number of louvers on the side of the hood. If I ever get some of my other projects finished, I would like to drop in an early 21 stud engine to replace the 4 banger and replace the rear end gears or maybe the complete rear end with something that would make this truck more drivable on main roads. It will only do about 40 mph top speed now.

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

JM 35 nice old truck. It will take a later flathead without much trouble and use an inline overdrive like a Mitchell and keep the rest of it original.

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

Here is a 34' pickup that was built by me 2 years ago. It now resides in Phoenix, AZ.

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

Not much Ford left to that one:rolleyes: I'm sure the guys on the HAMB would like it tho.......

I moved from Miissouri to California in 1965 in this truck. Had all my worldly possessions in the backand it looked a little bit like The Grapes of Wath. I still have it and drive a couple of times a month. Mostly stock except a 21 Stud LB Engine, '39 Trans, hydraulic brakes, a Columbia and I made a steering box for it using F100 Gears. This truck brings back a lot lf memories when I drive it. I think the '34 was the best looking PUs Henry made. :)

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

Pardon me,

I did not meen to get the picture soooo big. I am still trying to figure this stuff out.

Chris :(

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

big pictures are GOOD!

Re: The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread
 

Chris, You have a great looking truck, I like the foglights. I agree that the '34 is among the best.

Mine also has a Columbia- considering the distances I drive probably is overkill, but sure is fun to shift.
