Nice job, looks clean. I hope I can put my breather on without any issues. I never thought of that yet. Just one more issue, maybe!!

By the way Pete, looks like you're in a great area, love the trees. Here's my area <LOL>

Hey Pete, do you have the gravel pans that go in the engine compartment? That's the only thing I'm missing to make it 100% stock and COMPLETE. I think they're called gravel pans or gravel shields? Just wondering, I've looked for quite a while for those just to say it is 100% complete.

LOL, thank you Sir!!

Yes there is, but I have all these skins with my attempts <LOL>!! Love your truck. I'm trying to get a 59AB engine in my '33 truck and get the banger out of it. I love trucks and yours looks awesome, nice setup. V8??

Thanks Tom! I like Krylon32's idea (#12) about some small tubing under the lacing. I think I'm going to try that first since it's easier for me with less experience than you guys out here have. Love your '32. I have one just like it, black with green striping and wheels, original V8 and vin is a...

I really like your setup. It looks awesome!!!

I have 2 - 32's, my pickup has an 8BA in it and has NO towers on the motor mounts. My 3-W has a Merc (EAB) motor and has NO towers. I understand from a friend of a friend that has a collection of 33 & 34 cars and trucks his entire life (he's 88 and still going strong with cars), says I will...

Newc, will the '39 generator fit on my early '33 truck? I think BobH said I should use the early (33-34) generator, that fits in with the room. I do have a friend that has a setup that is off his 59A but it's from 1947 he said. That sits on the manifold with no drop down bracket.

Thanks Sheldon!! I'm going to look and see if there are any numbers stamped on that rear end. I bought 3 cars from a friend of mine when he dies and they let me have first choice. I bought his 2 '32 Roadsters and this '33 Truck. He was a lakes racer and has several records, so if the rear end...

Thank you all. Coop, wow that is some trick things that were fabricated. I wish I knew just a fraction of what y'all know. The engine I'm putting in is a 59AB from a friend of mine that had it in his 1936 Ford Pickup. He gave it to me when he screwed up a piston. I had it all machined, sleeved...

I found that out also after 50% were telling me it'll bolt right up and the others saying it's about 1-1/2" short between the 4 banger and the V8. So I have a longer driveshaft and tube that I already bought. I'm running a '39 trans with the stock rear end that has 3.73 (?) gears. The gears are...

Thank you Jim, If I use the generator with the fan on it, I will need to change the crank pulley to just one instead of a double, correct. The crank, fan & water pumps will all run on just one belt, correct? Thank you for your help!! I'm setup right now with 2 pulleys and the drop down. A...

Good Evening, I finished my '32 water pumps and now I'm moving back to my engine swap on my truck. I'm taking the 4 banger out and putting in a 42-48 59AB. Does anyone know what generator, fan and bracket system I can use?? I have half the people telling me to put the generator/fan on the...

Thanks DavidG, maybe I won't even waste my money then. The lacing is only 10 years old but has less than 50 miles on it since restoration and has been in my shop the entire time since my uncle did the frame off. It still looks brans spanking new. Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it. Here's...
