Default Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck

I think the problem with that 32 commercial radiator cap is that it looks like a plain ole garden variety sorta model A look and they never achieved any special status until a person goes to replace one and finds out they are 1 of 1. Case in point is a friend of mine is an expert on early V8 Fords, knows all the part numbers by heart ,has enough NOS parts to build a new '34, . He is a truck guru. I was there one day when he was sorting through a bucket of "stuff" and was about to throw away "an old probably model A radiator cap when I saw it. I screamed "stop, go get a white glove and carefully pick up that cap and put it in a safety deposit box"! He was going to give it to me or scrap it. True story and probably the same story for the other 100,000+ caps that went missing.
