Default 1932 ford pickup cab true or a rumour,

I look at the website and searched Google after being told the United Pacific was working on New 1932 ford truck cabs but didnt see anything. I was told that there was a artical in a recent car magazine . Anyone else know about this ? I have seen the new truck grill and it's really nice. If they were to build complete cabs and also offered parts I am sure they could sell a lot of doors ! I would be in the market for a.pair!

I heard the same .... I was just at the LA Roadster show and UPAC was represented there. If they had it ready it would have been displayed ....

United Pacific has a full page ad on page 103 in the September Street Rodder magazine. The title of the ad is: "Something OLD is Coming to United Pacific." The picture is a shadowy 32 Pickup with "Stay Tuned. 1932.uapac.com"

Besides the 32 Commercial Grille they also have the Pickup Rear Fenders available.
I was surprised to see the full page ad. I don't know why they are not more aggressively marketing the grille and rear fenders?

The doors, grille and fenders are very good quality. At the LARS they said the doors would be available in Oct? They had a pair of doors on the original truck and the fit was excellent. The 5 window project took quite a while to accomplish, I assume the pickup cab will be no different.

While I don;t know whether the rumors are true or not, one would assume they are given they have produced the grille and rear fenders.. I can personally attest to the fact the grille fits perfectly.

Ha......for ALL the naysaying-wisenheimers that keep telling those of us that expect PROPERLY-FITTING REPRO PARTS that we "should be happy to get ANY ill-fittin' bits at all", pay attention here......it obviously CAN BE DONE by United Pacific. And this stuff ain't easy stuff to get right, either. DD

I just hope they finally fixed their passenger header panels... When they first came out they fit perfect, but the threads were metric. Regardless a very easy fix.

As a United Pacific dealer , the 33 Ford truck cab is not available yet . It will be ready for market in another year.

Calling it a 33 cab is it a early one or does it have the extra body line across the back of the cab like the 34 cab?

I know this is an old thread, but I spoke with David in sales at UP and asked him how the truck cabs were coming along. He said the plan is to have the "big unveiling" at SEMA this year (2017). I bought one of the 5W coupes, so I'm out of the market for sure, but would love to build a brand new '32 pickup. I think their stuff is pretty nice.

A 1932 -1934 pu door from them cost $2000 each.so the cabs will probably sell for $20,000 what a deal

As I recall the pick up cabs were going to retail in the 15K range but have not herd anything more from them.
