Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
Chris, keep on Truckin!
The longer you keep that ol truck, the more new refurbished parts she'll have and soon enough she'll be like new off the assembly line. That's how my Model "A" is lookin.

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
Chris since you have water inside your shop, do you have that area concrete sloped to a drain too ???? I would think you'd prefer to keep the inside dry and not have standing water anywhere.

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
Chris, keep practicing with junk spare parts to cut, weld, fill and sand then paint and scuff them up and see how close to original you can get. This might be the way to go with those doors. If...

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
Chris,
Another website "Macs Auto Parts" might have those rubber strips. I got them for my '33 and it will help seal up the bottom of the doors against the cab floor. They slide in a special channel...

What about that spray insulating foam just along...

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
I would only keep the rear window if it still has the FORD etching in the corner of a manufacture date. My pickup has 5/33 date stamp for May, 1933. The frame number dates to the same time frame.

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck

Get the "1932 Ford Service Bulletins", if you don't have them already. Look on-line eBay has them from book dealers. The fuel gauge has 4 or 5 pages detailing how it's all set up as David...
