Is that an issue? Definitely don’t want to be somewhere I don’t belong LOL

Not a problem. The club encompasses 1932-1953 Ford, Mercury, Lincoln. We'd be glad to have ya. The price of admission is cheap.

Fours, sixes, V8s, V12s, anything that Ford produced from the '32 model year through the '53 model year ('54 model year in the case of Ford of Canada vehicles) are all part of the Club's coverage.

Lenny that's a BEAUTIFUL pickup please post more pics of the interior, dash gauges and the 4-banger please we love the '32s.

Nice find and welcome to early Ford trucks. Looks REALLY nice!! Enjoy it and drive it. I have had my '34 for 50 plus years. Fun to drive.

Lenny Bruce · 05-23-2023, 04:27 AM

It’s in great condition! Runs beautifully! I’ll post more pictures of the inside and under the hood. It needs a good cleaning but just the way I like them. I just love “drivers”. Our model A’s are the same. They present well but I don’t worry about leaning over the fenders to wrench on them. The only thing I’m a bit bitter sweet on is the previous owner fabricated an alternative gas tank so it doesn’t stink up the cab. I can switch it back as everything is still in place but it was somewhat tastefully done so time will tell

DavidG · 05-23-2023, 06:21 AM

Perhaps the previous owner did not use a un-vented gas cap, hence the in-cab fumes.

Ricosan · 05-23-2023, 06:42 AM

Great looking ‘32! Welcome to the club Lenny. You’re at the right place!

Lenny, I hope you join the early Ford V-8 club and bring that nice '32 pu to some of the national meets. We'd like to see that truck and meet you. Most members would love to see that truck regardless of which early ford engine it has.

Planojc · 05-23-2023, 08:35 AM

Love that truck.

Lenny Bruce · 05-23-2023, 09:13 AM

I’m located wayyyyy update NY But we don’t mind driving. We LOVE the Gilmore Auto Museum and been there for Model A Days and a few other visits. We’d like to do the Old Car festival this year. We will surely join you guys at some point! Can’t wait to meet everyone!

Very nice looking 1932 truck another one in the club.

Lenny,
Very nice truck! Congratulations! Hope to see you at a show at some point too!
Sure looks like a great truck!
Regards,
Chris and Cheryl

Model51 · 05-25-2023, 08:21 PM

Lenny - Let me add my congratulations too. It looks like a great truck and I can't wait to see it in person sometime somewhere. The EFV8 club has regional meets, so there will likely be one closer to upstate NY.

DavidG · 05-25-2023, 09:29 PM

As a matter of fact, an eastern national meet is planned for the thousand island area of upstate New York in 2024.

Lenny Bruce · 05-26-2023, 04:42 AM

Wow the thousand island area would be great it’s only an hour from home and…..that’s where I bought the truck!!!! How cool is that!!! Can’t wait!!

Lenny Bruce · 05-26-2023, 04:45 AM

Sorry forgot to tell you guys… Wife and I went for our first ride last evening. Truck runs and drives great!!! This is exciting! You all are so very nice and super helpful. We can’t wait to start meeting you in person! Thanks again!
