Too bad, although I didn't think it was yours :-)

Yo, Folks! This just popped-up on "The 'Bay". The guy seems to be offering YOUR pick for $900. That's the GOOD. The BAD is that he claims that he WILL NOT ship. You know anyone STILL living in California? Link to the eBay listing BELOW, or search under ITEM #: 265231787894. THIS AIN'T my stuff! DD


PS.....This looks like it's located only 3 or 4 miles from Downtown BURBANK. Gotta be some FordBarner that would grab it and ship for ya!

Yes, I looked about an hour ago and didn't see this listing.


If it was mine, I'd consider buying plate and fabricating my own replacement for the damaged section. I believe 11 gauge, ~1/8" thick, was used by Ford for the passenger cars anyway. If you did this, it could be done without removing the body IMO.

Thinking about my repair suggestion some more. I'd buy some 11 gauge plate and have a flange bent along the piece that matched the angle and dimension of the original like this

If it turns out that this is something Marshall wants... I'll 'donate' myself to the task of picking up in Burbank and shipping. Just contributing to the 'well being' of a 32, and Marshall. Not saying that this would be my fix, and not saying it wouldn't. A little 'adventure' to Burbank would keep this old guy entertained.

I just happen to know that fellow quite well. Its Indian Mike.

I saw this on HAMB. I know nothing about it but thought some or all might be useful to you, https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...mbers.1235543/

I've known Mike from many years ago. I'd enjoy catching up with him again. From memory, he was actually in La Canada, back when I had contact with him. His place was a 'warehouse' of vintage stuff, mostly old Ford stuff. He used to advertise on the barn and hamb.

Thanks for all the leads, Guys. Some of them might have worked for us. But my friend ordered a new K-member with pedals and MC from Millworks Hotrod last week, which should solve our problem. The owner is resigned to the fact that we will need to remove the body from the chassis in order to take out the old, cut-up K-member and install the new one, plus relocate the battery. I just can't see any better way to do this than to remove the body so that we have full access to the chassis. This job will be difficult enough as is, without fighting the body placed on blocks hovering above the frame. I'll take photos of the process and post them here so that the next poor schmuck who has to do this switch will get an idea of what all is involved and learn from our mistakes. .

I've had this 32 pickup for a while. It had been hot rodded in the 50's. Most of the chassis was still pretty nice, but they got a torch after the K-member for some reason. I had the drivetrain out as it's getting a rebuilt 3.54 rear, rebuilt 39 trans and a fresh 59AB.

I figured it was a good time to fix this mess, and since we had just been talking about repairing a butchered K-member, I figured I'd share some pics of the repair here. While the repair is not on par for a restoration, it is what this old truck needed to make it another 89 years on the road...

Hi Neal. I love that truck and that repair is a little bit above the norm. Great job and you went the extra mile doing the rivets like that.
all the best.
Mart.

Nice.
