1932

I have the opportunity to buy this 1932 truck. There appears to be no filler in the body, except for where the top insert has been filled. It has a 9\" rear and 4 wheel disc brakes. The only thing I don't like is someone installed a 352 v8, with an automatic trans, probably a C6 (?).

Nice truck! I've never heard anything bad about the 352 and the C6 or C4 are both good transmissions, as far as I know.
Wish one of these trucks would find their way into my garage

A 352 isn't a common transplant choice, my guess it was done a really long time ago. It may have a C6 or could also have the older cruise-o-matic used before 1966. If it runs and drives good, embrace the classic FE and enjoy it. It will be a nice truck to go cruzin in.

The deal fell thru. There are problems with the title and serial number.

That's unfortunate, but much better to find it now, rather than later. It's a major concern for me whenever checking out old rides. So many things could have been done over the years, at the time wasn't a big deal, but causes problems later when trying to buy/sell.
