The Official '32-'34 Truck Thread

[LittleTruck]

Hello. We've inherited my Father-in-law's truck, which is in the middle of it's second revival, and I have a few questions.

1. I've been told that this is a Model B truck and that makes it special. Everything I've found indicates you either got a Model BB 1 1/2 ton, or you got the Model B. Seems I see as many B's as anything else. Do I have this right, or am I missing something.

2. Truck has the spare tire on the passenger fender, yet most other trucks I see don't. Was this an option? What gives?

3. What gastank would you recommend I use? Seems the tanks advertised for 32's wouldn't fit under the bed.

First picture is probably from 1977, after he brought the truck back from the dead. That's my mother-in-law, my wife and her two younger sisters. We're all a bit older now.

Next picture is what the truck looks like today. I have lots of work to do, but most of the truck is there.

Thanks.
