32 vs 33-34 Pedal Differences???

[Willit Stop]

A few months ago I sold 2 sets of '33,s to a fellow Barner in Colorado. One set had matching arms and the other set was mismatched.

Tim....As an interesting side note (I fully understand that you are referencing "CAST" pedal arms), Ford DID continue to use BEAM-shaped arms on occasion until who knows when, as seen with this '39 clutch arm, although SOME '39 arms were oval-shaped. DD

Interesting. I never saw them that late. As guess with all things Ford, anything is possible. LOL!

Looking at that clear pict., I am convinced that the beam type arms are cast. Look at the forging line in the oval arm and the "clean lines" of the cast part. Also, a forging would the part number protruding outward and a cast piece would inset like the part # in the beam-type arm.

Convincing evidence; thanks.

Great knowledge. This case is CLOSED!
