Vehicle Description
1932 Ford Pickup
The 1932 Ford has been admired by both enthusiasts and engineers
ever since its introduction three-quarters of a century ago. Also
called the Deuce because of the "2" in the model year, it was the
world's first popularly priced car to offer a V8 engine. A '32 Ford
featured a lot of firsts and also lasts, which helped endear it to
hot rodders. It was the first year of the flathead V-8, which was
the first V-8 in an affordable, mass market automobile. ... 1932
Fords survived much better, leading to greater availability, which
kept a lid on prices.
For consignment, a deuce rodded 32 Ford pickup truck. Not your
everyday pickup but a rolling work of automotive art. A pickup like
none other you'll see, that has had a ton of time put into the
rebuild to a rodded truck, with all details paid attention to. A
veritable who's who of parts manufacturers and now a unique piece
that no one else will even come close to imitating!!
Exterior
Time to bone up on some of your rodding terms so stay with me while
I give you the pitch on this deuce resto-rod pickup. A dual chromed
bar front bumper leads the way and protects the beautifully
curvaceous front fenders that flank the long cowled hood. A body
matching radiator surround bathed in '04 Chrysler Electric Green
Apple Metallic is fronted and flanked by a chromed support bar that
stretches across the grille and supports a single chromed headlight
on either side. These fenders C curve up and around the front tires
and wheels and mate with a running board to aid you into getting
inside with ease. Just above are the front hinged doors keeping
within their original squared off design, and now sporting power
glass. A custom fabricated visor in the green shields the front
glass and has a round chromed hanging mirror off of the top of each
door sill right under the drip edge for the roof. A rolled top
steel bed, straighter than arrows, form the sides to the bed which
is now lined on the inside with honey maple stained oak boards with
chromed separators. On the driver's side of the bedside is a
concealed fuel filler kit in keeping with the smooth line of the
sides. On back, a trio of frenched sequential LED taillights in
thin bar form let those following know you are on the hooks. A rear
roll pan with one of the bar taillights replaces the former bumper.
Artistic pinstriped flourishes are seen on the edges of the rear
tailgate, around the rear glass of the cab, and along the beltline
all in red and yellow. Ceramic coated in sterling finish
bellflowers peek out the rear from below the roll pan. Polished
Billet Specialties wheels are wrapped in raised white letter
baloneys on the back and thinner tires in front and give a nice
rake to the side view of this truck.
Interior
As we swing the doors to explore the interior we are greeted with
green and gray fuzzy broadcloth that has overstuffed armrests and
tuck and roll vertical pattern lowers. A billet handle opens the
doors from the inside and we can see power window toggles are
offered up. Interior seating is courtesy of Rayco and presents in a
broadcloth green insert and gray bolster bench seat, and a central
embroidered "32" in yellow threads in the center. The dash has been
kept simple but effective in the green metal and a wood curved
insert near the dash top. The center of the dash is a metal
polished oval with VDO white faced vintage looking gauges with
brass bezel gauges. A few knobs are below, and this truck has a
Vintage Air, heat, and a defroster unit installed. Up top within
the roof line is an AM/FM/CD/DVD player with MP3 and Bluetooth
capabilities. If your passenger gets bored, a screen embedded into
both sun visors allows for DVD viewing. Big speakers are embedded
into the B pillars for the surround sound effects. Black carpet
floods the floors and seen in this field are custom chromed foot
pedals. (I told you they left no stone unturned!)
Drivetrain
Within the engine bay is a 5.7 liter motor courtesy of a '94 Chevy
Camaro in LT-1 form. Simple but very effective all in either green
or chrome it is a sight to behold. On the back is a 700R4 4-speed
automatic tranny, and a 3.73 positraction 9-inch Ford rear axle
spins the tires at will.
Undercarriage
You would expect nothing less and if you purchase this truck you
might want to get a full-scale mirror to go along with it as the
undercarriage is as souped up as the topside. Here we see a 1932
rolling chassis by Legend Motors-Downs Design and it is just
beautifully appointed. Braking is all braided stainless lines with
A.N. fittings which clamp down on 4 wheel power disc brakes showing
polished calipers. Under here there is a yellow painted peppering
of driveshaft, axle and pumpkin which is a great contrast to the
green steel and black running boards. Polished Downs IFS with
adjustable tubular upper and lower control arms are on front, and
in back, a triangulated 4 link rear suspension with Aldan coil
overs (polished) and chromed springs. Exhaust is ceramic coated in
stainless steel color and includes coated stainless styled
mufflers.
Drive-Ability
A driver for sure, literally a rolling work of art, and a head
turner that they can hear you coming from a mile away! Excellent
handling, braking, acceleration and all functionalities are working
perfectly. I did not want to get out, it was that good.
Just a great overall presentation that was painstakingly documented
with photos and receipts of the full off restoration, which now
yields a "frame-able" work of garage bling that you could charge
admission to view inside your garage. Numerous award winner, and a
daily driver if you so desire.
