Re: 1932 Ford Rad Cap?
That does not look like a Radiator Cap for a 1932 Ford to me. It may be a Gas Cap.. The 32 Cap has a Raised Rib which usually runs from front to back when installed. Also it is plated not painted. jmho. kerk

Re: 1932 Ford Pickup Rad Cap?
Sorry, I have adjusted the title. I did mean pickup or commercial.

Re: 1932 Ford "Commercial" Rad Cap?
Dick Spadaro always told me a 30/31 Model A gas cap was very close in basic design and size to a 32 commercial radiator cap. Since the cap on my deuce pu is a dummy that is what I used and it looks very close.

Re: 1932 Ford "Commercial" Rad Cap?
Not "the" cap given the underside. Despite over 100,000 of the B-8100-B caps having been produced, they are scarce today and have a habit of walking away on their own from unattended '32 commercial vehicles and big trucks (along with ash trays from '32 cabriolets left unattended). Used on all '32 vehicles with the commercial/big truck combined grill and radiator shell.

Re: 1932 Ford "Commercial" Rad Cap?
I'd post a picture of mine on the truck but I've never figured out pictures? To the average person it looks fine but not to someone like David who knows. I asked about one at the Early Ford Store in San Dimas and he said he'd had very few over the years.
