'32 frame same as Model A?
Did the '32 Model B pickup use the same frame as the Model A?
If not, what are the differences? Can an A frame be used to build a '32. Thanks. |

The only two things in common between the two are their names (frame) and their material (steel) and perhaps a few rivet sizes.

Yes very different but you can mount a 32 truck cab on a model a chassie . You'll have to use the model a fenders and box. I have a friend that did this many year's ago and looked great and gave him a bit more room in the cab.
I am sure the purist don't want to hear this so the jalopy journal or hamb would be a better place to discuss this. You can shoot me a message as well , I'll look to see if I can find a picture of Scott s truck.

Huh? Mounting the '32 or '33/34 cab on the A frame is not going to provide any more room in the cab than it would on the correct /32 or '33/34 frame.
