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.

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 .

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?

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.

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???

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!!

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.

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!!
