That's a good question because I have a '34 firetruck. It's not running but it is complete and the rods are "not" there. I bought it to restore, but since I had a stroke I doubt that will ever happen. I have '32 cars and a '34 pickup, they all have the rods. The Ford Dealer parts book list one part number for '32-'34 passenger, commercial and truck. On the right side of my '34 1 1/2 trunk with a PTO trans, the PTO hangs out past where the rods would bolt to the back of the motor. There is no way to use them on that truck. Even if it did not have the trans with the PTO in the way of the engine stabilizer rods, they might not have used them on all the big trucks because they have normal rear springs. one on each side, unlike the '32-'34 cars and pickups with single rear spring. It's still strange the parts book list one part number for '32-'34 cars, pickups and "trucks".
