Thread: Searching for 32 information. LOTS of it!

]I really am not concerned with performance.
I found a 32 Ford pickup with a 4 cylinder that I was considering using the motor out of.
I basically don't want the car to appear to be a hot rod.
I am not interested in speed and really have just always wanted a model A tudor to putt around in just because I like em.
This 32 was given to me so I have zero cash invested in it at this point and I seriously just want an old 30's tudor to putt over to my neighbors house and look nice in my driveway,
I am not into high performance and honestly want it to look as close to a stock 32 Ford as possible with my budget.
I have the stock front axle and wishbone and 3/4's of the frame and a body with two doors, running boards and rear fenders and gas tank, everything else is gone.
Someone cut the engine and trans out along with the front 1/3 of the frame along with it.
The Axle and front end I found behind a guys barn and he gave it to me as well.
The entire car has been given to me at this point so I have no money invested yet,
In this part of the country cars are sitting all over the back 40 on old ranches and in the woods.
I just had a complete 38 chevrolet given to me last week that is complete and even has an interior although the fabric is obviously rotted,
the 32 is not being built as an investment or as a hot rod it is simply for my amusement and I like them as stock looking as possible.
I am even looking into semi gloss non metallic paints to give it an everyday working guys car kind of look.
like something Your grandfather would have bought used in decent shape to get back and forth to work.
I bought a piece of land in Montana and we have built all of our buildings and house to look like and old small town and these cars will be parked around to give it "atmosphere" but i do want them to run and look like decent cars,
Just not super polished candy apple red 400 hp hot rods.
Thats what I'm after, Just a stock looking used 32 ford.
A 29 or 30 ford would have served just as well but it just happened that my neighbor had a 32 rusting away behind his place he wanted gone so he gave it to me.
Thats basically what I'm after though,
something that looks "period" but is driveable so i can run up to my buddies house at the end of the road,
and will look like it belongs in our old town replica.
Someone else mentioned a photo and i thought i would add this just to give you an idea of what I'm working with here,
I have already begun removeing fenders etc but you can see it is not some barn stored treasure that i am destroying.
It clearly needs alot of TLC
Thanks
