steve,

You should be able to find what you need in "The 1932 Ford Book" from the Early Ford V8 Club, https://www.earlyfordv8.org/Shop.cfm?id=15&pid=2 The pickup truck should have the same firewall as the passenger car. It will also contain answers to other questions that you didn't even know you had.

Please refer to the colored photos of the B engine compartment in Chapter 5. Between the two of them you'll see where everything is routed and/or attached.

Thanks,I have seen those pics and they are hard to see details in the book, dark, and they are more focused on engine rather than wall. Need a different angle straight at wall ,showing a little of the side of engine and more toward wall . sorry to be a pain .

Steve, I owned an original '32 pu a little over ten years ago that I had taken many pictures of. If you pm me your email address, I would send you any pictures I have of the firewall area.

Steve,
These might help, I've collected a lot of images for my work on my wagon. These are from a 32 woodie in Oregon.

Keep V-8ing and 4-banging!

With respect, if the objective is originality, there's a lot going on in those two photos that is misleading.

Do you mean the hole in the first picture that is located about 8 inches from where the never adopted vacuum was to be mounted? If no how about a picture. If yes I assume that it was for the vacuum operated clutch. The second photo shows the same threaded hole in a later firewall. DO NOT use these photos for other information as the cars are neither restored or original.

David,

Thanks for keeping me informed. I appreciate your knowledge for 32's.
