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,...

Re: 32 3 window seat

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.

Re: 1933 Amber cowl lamp lens

I don't recall anyone making an amber lens. There is translucent red paint for tail lamps and perhaps a comparable amber/yellow paint exists for your purpose.

Re: '32 BB cab mounting bolts

No, just one in the center hole on one side and two 3/8"-24 hex head bolts without springs on the opposite side.

Re: Paint color for 32 Tudor belt rail panel (dash)

One of the best preserved of any '32 standard closed cars.

Re: Paint color for 32 Tudor belt rail panel (dash)

I believe that the question is regarding the interior belt rail panel (dash) and the other interior moldings in a standard '32 Tudor. Ford's name for the color was simply "interior gray", although...

Re: 1932 b400

Worldwide production was 1,296. Many of the survivors were in Europe, such as the car in your photos in Switzerland.

Re: 32 firewall differences?

I've observed eight visibly different LHD firewalls (Ford labeled them "dashes" in the day) and six visibly-different RHD versions and there may have been more.

In the photos in #1 above, that in...

Re: Are 1934 and 1935 auot bumpers the same?

Here's a Ford archives photo that leaves no doubt as to the singularity of the '34 bumper groove.

Re: 28-32 N.O.S. shocks

A Model A shock is 1/4 " less in height, is manually adjustable, and does not have the cavities on the back like the '32 shock shown in #22 above.

Re: 28-32 N.O.S. shocks

Post-1938 service replacements, likely functionally superior to the original Model A shocks. Probably great for driving, but not for an as-built restoration.

Re: 28-32 N.O.S. shocks

Ask Andrew Falandes at [email protected]. Likely he will recommend a complete tear down for thorough cleaning and new seals.
