Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is excited to present this
sharp black 1932 Ford Roadster Pickup for sale. It's not very often
that we see one of these little pickups, and it's a rarity to get
one that's this level of "cool". It's built on an original 1932
Ford frame, and features an original grille. The body shell is a
Briggs composite, outfitted with traditional style rubber flooring,
and synthetic leather seating. The bed is a reproduction, and is
made of steel. Under the hood is a Chevrolet 350 CID V8, which is
topped with an Edelbrock AVS2 4BBL carb, and fitted with coated
shorty headers, which funnel the exhaust into a nice sounding
custom dual system. Backing the SBC is something that adds to the
coolness factor: a 5-speed manual transmission (sourced from a 1990
Camaro), with first gear "down and left". Ignition is handled by a
GM HEI setup, and a PowerMaster high output PWM-9612 starter to get
things lit off. Power gets to the ground via a 1940 Ford rear
spring setup, and steering is handled by a Chevy Vega steering
gearbox. The front suspension and axle are "early Ford", and the
4-wheel drum brakes are large 1940 Ford style. This little go-buggy
rides on steel wheels that are wrapped with radial tires. Inside,
the bench seat is equipped with seatbelts, and the dash features an
engine-turned gauge bezel with vintage style gauges (including
modern VDO speedo and tach), along with switches for the turn
signals, headlights, electric radiator fan, and the heater fan.
Some of the more recent updates (in the last 3 years) include
replaced suspension bushings, clutch slave cylinder, oil pan
gasket, rear main seal. Plus, the Harts radiator was steam cleaned,
repaired and tested and the electric fan was added. One of the most
fun features, however, is the convertible top: fold that canvas top
down, and enjoy vintage open air cruising in one of the most unique
little pickups around while you haul the whatever (grin). Call or
