Ah, I'm sorry that you lost that one, it definitely has the "look." I think 32-34 pickups are cool in any form, but done like that one I feel they are right at the top of the list.

We've looked at cabs every time we go to Turkey Run in the swap meet area, and most are crappy, missing doors, etc. One guy was selling doors for $ 1,000 each, but they were nice. I guess the doors can cost as much as the cab. I know I won't live long enough to build one of these, but my Sons like them too, so maybe they will do one someday.

Thanks for sharing the story Pat.

Pat, here is a crappy Polaroid picture of a 32 pickup I built in about 1970 or so. It was a chopped pickup and the chop was done badly by the PO. I removed the top to redo it and liked it as a rpu, so it stayed that way. It had an Olds 404 CI, Isky cam, 2 x 4's, and a 37 Cad/LaSalle gearbox, 55 Chevy rear end. I could never get it to be legal in Pennsylvania so I dismantled it and used the parts for other projects. But we used to bundle the kids up when they were about 6 months old and take them for roadster rides around the housing development.
