Default Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck

Chris,

One of the advantages of a '32 BB over the '33-'34 versions is the high degree of commonality they share with the passenger cars and commercial vehicles starting with the cab, firewall, hood, radiator shell, radiator, and your left front fender, etc.

Of course the chassis is unique, but the components involved in removing the engine and transmission are similar, just larger. The four-cylinder engine/transmission assembly is a tight squeeze exiting and entering the engine compartment. Hopefully you have one of the attachments for your chain fall that permits you to vary the angle of that which you are lifting as that makes the job a lot easier. The crank pulley is cast iron and far from chip proof so be extra careful when clearing the upside-down U-bolts on top of the highest point of the front cross member which retain the front spring beneath.
