Default 1931 1932 1933 BB Big Truck Help

Okay. I am hopeful there are some folks here who can help me.

I have a big truck I trying to save from the recycler. It is a 1932 SWB truck. I also acquired a 33 LWB chassis. I also have some Model A components. 32 Front end was bent so replaced with 33. The 32 rear is in place. Tranny is from the 33. Bolted up to the 32 Bell and Model A Motor (4cyl). Thought all was good but flywheel rubs on something, Maybe the starter (also A) Or something else. I can take pics to help ID this all and I have other parts that were part of years of pickin. Need some guidance and share what works.

Thanks in advance!

Dennis

What flywheel housing are you using? If you have a B pan and flywheel
housing you need a B flywheel. Also if the starter bolts are to long they can
rub the flywheel.

Check the starter bolts. I've used standard bolts out of the bin before and they were too long.

Any chance you have a Model A flywheel? They will rub the later transmission cases? Can you get a picture?
