I’m looking at a 26 Ford today and wanted to compare an on frame to engine. Can someone tell me where to find these two numbers on the 26 T pickup? Thanks

Thanks for your informative response. Sounds like good advice.

Yes it has a clear title and some additional parts.

Yes, same car. He was a friend of mine and I bought the 32 five window that he was working on. Probably some disagreement on its value of course but that’s always the case. Thanks for your input.

I would have to agree with you on this one. The people that are interested in these vehicles are dwindling in number and most of them don’t place as high value as they did 10-15 years ago. I’ve got about $40K invested in a 32 five window and might have difficulty getting it back. I personally...

I understand that aspect of the vehicles design. What I’m wondering is can you buy a 32 Ford roadster body and easily build a Cabriolet with a few parts or is the Cab body different enough to make that difficult?

I’ve got a question for the 32 Ford experts. I have a friend that has a 32 Cabriolet that she wants to sell. She inherited from her father who was a friend of mine. She was under the impression that it was worth $40k due to its rarity. It’s a project, so I’m thinking that’s a bit steep on value...

Listing for a friend whose been a lifetime early Ford collector. Wants to sell the entire LOT together. $6K or best offer. https://sacramento.craigslist.org/pts/d/roseburg-vintage-ford-barn-find-lot/7744248453.html

It’s not for the small of wallet either! 😵www.jalopyjournal.net💫

Re: 32 Coupe door strap pin - what’s typical? Makes sense but a little difficult to replicate without special tools or luck which I seem short on. 😁

32 Coupe door strap pin - what’s typical? I proceeded to install the door straps on my 5-window and found the kit didn’t provide a cotter pin or fastener of any kind for the door side. I thought, no problem I’ll use a small bolt or cotter pin. WRONG! This is the best thing I could create to fit...

Thanks David, this helps. Here's the rubber parts that I've currently got for my doors. B-7020706 - Lower Seal (2) B-7021580 - Window Channel Stop Bumper (4) B-46440 - Door Bumper (4) B-7021452 - Door Glass Bumpers (4) B-7021444 - Door Glass Bumpers (4) Sounds like I need the upper glass seals.

Thanks for this additional information. Yes I experienced similar situation with putting the glass into my 38 sedan and it had to be placed precisely in order for the window to function properly. I will further inspect the doors to see if they have the stops described (I think they do). I’m not...

Thanks. That was another question that I had was is there a rubber seal available for the rear window. I’ll check out the rubber that I have for the quarter glass and see how that looks.

When I acquired my 32 Coupe project I wasn’t sure if I was going to have the rear glass sealed into the body or roll down as original. This is a modified vehicle and not stock however it’s not chopped and I’m using original door hardware. I’m now trying to decide if I want to go ahead and get...
