The Ford Barn

Deuce-Merchant · 04-15-2011, 08:30 AM

I have the box sides, and the front, but no floor for a 32 Ford PU Box.
Does anyone have any good pics of the crossmembers and braces and how it mounts to the frame.
I will be making all these parts, but need some idea of what they look like.
Trying to stay as stock as possible

Thanks for any help
Kelly

Thanks a lot

Hey Kelly I have A book on restoring the early ford P U I will bring it to breaky and you can borrow it if you like.

There is a lot of information in the paper catalog from Hils... http://www.mackhils.com/products/

I bought a book from them with numerous pictures of original pickups and a catalog with good drawings of many of the components in the back.

Yupp has a good shot of the bottom of the box showing the cross braces.

I have 2 32 boxes in the garage but they are stored on end with the bottoms against the wall. When it gets a little warmer I plan to get them out for photos. I could get photos of the inside as they set and maybe dimensions if that helps. Plan to list at least one them for sale. They are rough but complete.

I would love to buy one, I have a stock 32 pickup with no box, but I bet you live way too far away from BC Canada

Wisconsin. Wisconsin Dells area. One of these boxes has traveled a long way. A friend had it shipped from WY to IL when he bought it as a 33 box. When it arrived it was a 32. Just happened I had a 33 from my search for a 32 so we traded. Later I recovered the original bed from my truck. It had been saved and used as a trailer by a previous owner.
