While Ford's records indicate that some very early 32 frames differed between those used with fours and those used with V-8s to the extent of different front cross members, why rely on opinions? You can contact the source of authoritative information about Fords, namely the Benson Ford Research Center in Dearborn, MI and request copies of the original engineering drawing and engineering release forms for the chassis frame side rail. The part number is B-5105 for the right side and B-5016 for the left side. That drawing and the accompanying engineering release forms should tell you what changes, if any, were made to the side rails during the course of '32 model production.
