Thread: '32 ford truck

Tweet

I try to use swinging pedals when ever I can, it's just a cleaner set up for me. This is how i did the truck. I want to say something about my projects, when i say I there is a lot of help from friends employees and anybody else I can get to help me. I hate using the word "I" because it is never one person.I don't want to mislead anyone thinking "I" did all of this.
Anyway there is a 3/4" tube bent to conform to the cowl up against the firewall welded in place then a plate welded to that. This gives the base for mounting the pedal bracket. then there is cold rolled flat bar formed to match the dash with up rights to tie this whole thing together.Then by cutting the tunnel potion off of the stock gauger panel and mounting the gauger panel to the flat bar I can remove the dash and service the master cylinders and gages.
The rear frame is kicked up 9" and a smaller version of a model A cross member fabricated to use a buggy spring, but I am cheating here because the buggy spring really won't support much of the truck there is air bags that will really give the ride.

I don't know what is happening here but this isn't working. I am trying this again.

Here are a couple more. with the dash in and the doors chopped and aligned and the motor . Fuel system is done I am using the early Olds spark plug dividers.
Had enough of this thing yet?

I particularly like the fuel hardline mounting from the log to the carbs.

Thanks you guys, I get my rear end back Tuesday, then I can put it on the ground. I will put a photo of it.
