Re: 1932 steering housing cap (B-3589)

Thanks to Pete's enlargement, there's no question. The 15 and 52 gears are not the same. The 15-to-1set will steer with less effort.

Re: 1932 steering housing cap (B-3589)

Technically speaking, 15-to-1 steering gear sets weren't adopted until 5,000 passenger cars and commercial vehicles into the 1933 model year in the U.S.. The '32-early '33 gear set had a 13-to-1...

Re: '32 AAB bumper mounts

The basic black-painted front bumpers were the same, 1932 and 1933-34 (BB-17757-A), except for passenger and school buses. The brackets, right and left and the center backing bar are unique to '32s...

Re: help identify these hubcaps

The three on the left are '32-'33 four-cylinder caps and the two on the right are '35s.

Re: 1932 steering housing cap (B-3589)

Matt,


I associate the short one with fractures in the bottom of the steering column tube because it does not extend beyond the slot in that tube.

Re: Early '32 up DASH KNOBS ???? vanished????

Based on the photo of Henry whacking a deck lid made of soy in the second half of the 1930s, my guess would be phenolic plastic for the knobs.

Re: Early '32 up DASH KNOBS ???? vanished????

1932-34 four-cylinder passenger cars used the same knobs, 1932-33 V8 passenger car knobs were the same, 1932 commercial vehicles and trucks used the same knobs as passenger cars, 1933-34 commercial...

Not OEM Ford nor common on an automobile.

Re: 32 Duolamps

You have just presented more information confirming that you have two unassembled reproduction lamps as those nuts are not the kind that are spun into permanent position in the lamp housing.

Re: How important is the oil pan baffle

Robert,


I assume that you are talking about a pre-1936 21-stud V8, correct? Why do you want to use a later pump when the '32-'35 pumps with baffles performed satisfactorily for billions of...

Re: 1932 Ford Subrail Frame Extensions

Note that Brookwille 3-window bodies do not have the original type floor from below the front seat rearward to the end of the body. Instead they used their already-existing roadster, standard coupe,...

Re: Cowl Lights ??

Not a precursor to parking lamps, but as parking lights, just like the same 3 CP bulbs incorporated into standard models' head lamps.


In some countries, separate parking lamps in the form of...

Re: 32 Duolamps

As both are missing the inner shelf that separates the light from the two bulbs as well as the square threaded nuts that are spun on to the housing to retain the inner shelf, I'd describe them as...

Re: 32 Duolamps

Hard to tell for sure about the lamp housings without photos of their insides. The rim is Model A and again post '32 as the holes in the the '32 rims were not countersunk.


No original '32...

Re: Floor Mat Question

They are not the same and have different part numbers.


Ask and see if any vendor has one without the transmission shift lever housing opening in it as they have existed. You can then add it...

Re: King Pin not matting with brake shaft housing – 1932 Ford

Tim,


All '32-'34 passenger car and commercial car front brake actuaters are the same (one right, one left, once assembled). Un-assembled, the housings are the same, right and left. The '35-36...

Re: King Pin not matting with brake shaft housing – 1932 Ford

Without paint on them as in your photo, they should fit as shown in Sheldon's photos. With paint, it can be a very snug fit, but no misalignment or gaps.


Best guess? Wrong king pins.

Re: Floor Mat Question

Your best bet is a '36 front floor mat as it has the same shift lever opening as a '39. The pattern on the '36 mat and its color are different than that on a '35 mat, but with a '39 transmission,...

BosCar Tom is correct. The seat back spring in a '32 deluxe coupe is not attached to the wood seat frame. As he indicates, the upholstery material on the top of the seat back spring is attached to...

Re: 1936 Ford Convertible Project value ?

Note that it is evidently a club cabriolet with an enclosed rear seat, no rumble seat. Far fewer of those were built originally compared to cabriolets with rumble seats.
