Great Find!!!!

Chris

What '32 pickup?

I do see a '33 pickup though.

Hey Chris, that truck is just awesome. Congrats on the find!

Gibbs brand penetrating oil/rust preventative. The stuff works great and is easily wiped off with thinner when it's time to paint. The truck will be torn apart and painted/plated/upholstered in the next year or so...

Cars may be Cool but Trucks are WAY MORE INTERESTING!!!!

Chris.

I always loved my truck and don't know why I sold it but I built in the 90's I wouldn't be happy with it today as I had drifted away from the more traditional look. I'm so amazed to see all the beautiful trucks that have shown up on this thread. I wish I knew where it is today.

Some more early pictures of the now named 'Merlot'. I was working in the lab in 1957 when I saw this 1934 truck in original condition, at a local garage in Leamington Ontario. The white uniform was changed daily, and I have stopped off to see my girlfriend on Oak Street for lunch. Those were the days.

tech post on "how to". Thanks,Al K.

Here is my jalopy. It is not a hot rod or an original. But i sure have had a lot of fun behind the wheel of it. Its a lil of this and lil of that.

here's my '34, a driver with 10600miles and counting, still underconstruction, and unless i win the lottery, it will be at least another 3 years before paint.

I pulled the fenders and boards off, I have better ones to put back on when time allows.
