Re: 32 orignal model b pick ups
Just a wild guess but I would say 50% were wrecked, worked to death or went to the WWII scrap drives. Another 25% or more had their motors changed to something that was more cheaper and had more power after the Model B motor died or was more cost to fix then it was worth. The remaining 25% or less is either in someones garage and not for sale, turned into a hot rod or has been parted out over the years.
That leaves very few to be original. This holds true I think for mostly anything before WWII. Again nothing to back this up, just my thoughts. |

Re: 32 orignal model b pick ups
On a recent thread, we saw many '33 and '34 Pickups shown by the members.Someone with a 32 should start another thread with their picture and see how many show up. Byron.

Re: 32 orignal model b pick ups
Well first of all 1932 was a short production year and any 30's pickup had a hard life!! The pickups were used on the farm and in commercial use until they were worn out, then sold to someone else who fixed it up and used it until it was worn out the second time. After this they were patched up and used to haul slop to the pigs. When the third life of the pickup was finished they were stripped down to the frame and a hay wagon was made out of the chassis. And you are asking why you can't find an original?

Re: 32 orignal model b pick ups
They are still out there,but you have to get out an beat the bushes to find them.
This 32 pickup belongs to my friend Dan and was purchased through an estate in North Carolina,about 10 years ago and still has it and drives it a lot. And this one belongs to my friend Steve,he bought this original 32 pickup in Pigeon Forge,Tenn. this past September.HRP

Re: 32 orignal model b pick ups
I think I've seen as many restored stock or unrestored original ones as I have "rodded" ones. The rodders are actually saving trucks that would otherwise just continue to rust away in the "back 40".

Re: 32 orignal model b pick ups
Guys like me are one of the reasons they are getting scarce. Third one I've built and they were all chopped. Just did the current chop on a really nice cab I had. Wacked it 3 inchs, What an improvement! A little conservative for me but I'm getting old.
