Hi; 32 cabs have some odd points: early 32's have reveal indents where the door edge closes, The tops are welded on the A pillars and the seam leaded, The tops DO NOT have a reinforcing ridge near the visor, some visors DO NOT have a center reinforcing brace, Cowl vents are early/late angles, ALL 32's have under seat gas tanks/ Split seat bottoms. Door hinges DO NOT have reveals around the hinge openings. These are just what I can remember. Join Early ford V8er's Newc

'34 Cabs have an extra wide belt line across the back of the cab

Late 32 cabs do have the reinforcing bead near the visor.HRP
