1932 V8 · 01-02-2016, 01:43 PM

We got ourselves a new to us pickup. We are super excited. It has been sitting for a couple of years so I need to do some mechanical stuff on it but we really like her.

petehoovie · 01-02-2016, 02:12 PM

Very nice!

Tim Brown · 01-02-2016, 02:59 PM

Thats the way to get them. I usually start with a roached body and start quilting parts together until I have something that looks like an EV8...

Good Job

flathead48 · 01-02-2016, 03:19 PM

corvette8n · 01-02-2016, 03:42 PM

That's a pretty one, 33?

Bill · 01-02-2016, 05:03 PM

Gotta love that Ca. tin! Like the color combo same as Lawsons...All good. Bill

Brendan · 01-02-2016, 05:18 PM

Mike, is there a photo? i think my computer is messed up again

SofaKing · 01-02-2016, 05:24 PM

Beautiful truck, nice score!

1932 V8 · 01-02-2016, 11:57 PM

Thanks everyone. Yes it's a 33. I need to learn about these trucks now. I would like to know what colors they came in, is this a stock color or close ? Etc Etc . It is going to be a fun learning project . And yes Brendan, there are pictures . They are hosted on the Barn so you need to be logged in to see them .

Flowmeister · 01-03-2016, 03:22 AM

That's a beauty!
Mine is a '33 as well, my favorite year for these trucks.
Got any more pictures? Interior/engine

turnpikecrusier · 01-03-2016, 06:30 AM

Very nice!

Vic Piano · 01-03-2016, 07:43 AM

Now, that's a start of a Happy New Year! Enjoy it.

Lawson Cox · 01-03-2016, 08:26 AM

Super nice. Nice shop.

TJ · 01-03-2016, 10:14 AM

Mike, that color combo is very close to the original. Years ago I had a nice original 33 with those same colors. A "rouge" pickup that I should have kept.

Brendan · 01-03-2016, 10:42 AM

i am logged in,i cant see a paperclip on the side of the thread, do you guys know what is up?

ct1932ford · 01-03-2016, 10:43 AM

Love it! Congrats.

1932 V8 · 01-03-2016, 12:37 PM

Hey Tom ,thanks . When we spoke yesterday I forgot to mention we got a pickup. Sorry. We got on a roll talking and it left my mind after talking about the 36 .
I will get some pics of the engine,interior etc etc . It has a later model engine, trans and rear end in it . I hope I don't get bashed for that

Hi Everyone, Brendan, that paperclip beside the thread title is shown when there is a photo or other ATTACHMENT.

The original post has three photos in it, but they aren't attachments. My guess is they are put in as HTML codes.

Brendan · 01-03-2016, 02:55 PM

i was able to open them i did something, but i don't know what ! Damm thing!

Brendan, if your computer is as old as your profile pic or the cook at the Ponderosa, that might explain a bunch. You have aged very well by the way.

2935ford · 01-03-2016, 08:05 PM

Yes, indeed.....nice!

1932 V8 · 01-03-2016, 09:15 PM

Here you go. More pics as requested. Sorry for the quality. It's a rainy day so these are in my poorly lit shop. It's Winter so it's what we get .

That's a super nice truck Mike! I like it. Happy New Year my friend...

1932 V8 · 01-04-2016, 12:05 AM

Thanks Keith. Happy new year to you !! I was very lucky with this truck. The owner waited for me for a while so I could get my "stuff" together to buy this. We feel lucky to be the care takers of this wonderful truck.

Got that tank in yet?

Flowmeister · 01-04-2016, 12:12 AM

Thanks for the more pictures,
Very tidy!

1932 V8 · 01-04-2016, 12:28 AM

Thanks Flowmeister. I need to learn about these trucks to figure out what is correct and what is not. I don't plan on changing much but I would like to know . I have been eying 32 to 34 pickups for a long time. They are few and far between for sure . We are super excited to finally have a nice one.

Bored&Stroked · 01-04-2016, 06:54 PM

Very nice - great way to start out 2016! Congrats on the new family member.

Bored&Stroked · 01-04-2016, 06:57 PM

What the heck is that 'second shift lever' looking thing for? Maybe I'm losing it - but it sure looks like something I've not seen before???

Gumpy · 01-04-2016, 07:15 PM

Very nice truck, you've got a nice collection!

al's28/33 · 01-04-2016, 07:23 PM

BEAUTIFUL '33......wish we lived closer to compare.....does your hydrostatic gas gauge work? I replaced mine with a later ford version. There is a book titled Ford Trucks 1932-19??....has a photo of a black '32 on the cover. Happy New Year!!

Bruce in southern OH · 01-04-2016, 07:29 PM

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1932 V8 · 01-04-2016, 08:31 PM

Hey Bored and stroked, that second lever thingy is for the Columbia rear end. He decided to manually shift it instead of vacuum. One of the knobs on the dash is for the speedo ratio change. So after it's in overdrive you pull the knob labeled Columbia and the speedo is magically correct !!
Only the speed is an original gauge. The rest are after market SW. It has an oversize tank in it that is coming out. It is very visible at the rear and really looks out of place.

totto · 01-04-2016, 08:46 PM

Enjoy your new ride and have fun!!! The best part about having one is driving them. Here in Michigan we can only drive in "nice weather" but nice "weather" is up to you!!

Mike in AZ · 01-04-2016, 09:44 PM

very nice peekemup......and better batten down the hatches.....El Nino gonna dump a lot of rain on you....according to weather guessers....lol....Mike

JSeery · 01-04-2016, 09:54 PM

Nice pickup!

Rusty Junk Ranch · 01-05-2016, 01:07 AM

Beautiful truck Mike, was it a local truck? It looks like it had a long time owner. Enjoy, maybe you will bring it to one of Faustino's dinner's this spring !

Bored&Stroked · 01-05-2016, 08:29 AM

Thanks for the info on the 'second shift thingy' . . . looks to be a simple and reliable way to shift a Columbia (and it looks like it belongs). It is really nice that this truck has a Columbia in that you'll be able to bring it up to modern highway speeds without having to rev the heck out of the engine. All in all, it looks like you've really got yourself a nice truck. My Dad bought a 33 many years ago, but then got too sick to restore it . . . so I've always had a soft-spot for them. Who knows, maybe somebody I'll build one!

Sounds like it was meant to be then Mike. Happy for you! The tank wasn't in long until I was convinced to blow the chassis apart. The frame is getting some slight repairs and then off to media blast and paint!
