A lot of work has gone into making this truck run like new. We wonder if they had any clue way back in 1932 that this pickup would still be trucking along?
A Piece of History
The 1932 Model B Pickup pictured above has been owned by its builder for the past 28 years. But now, it's going up for auction. The build was finished a few years ago and has fewer than 700 miles on it since completion.

Drivetrain
Under this car's hood sits a pristine balanced 276 ci 8BA industrial Flathead V8 motor. All of this engine's power runs through a Ford C4 automatic transmission with shift kit Gennie floor shifter, before it's sent to this truck's Currie 9-inch rear end.

Engine Specs
This Model B's engine is, arguably, the truck's best feature. It's been fitted with forged pistons, Elderblock Heads, an Isky 3/4 race cam, a Mercury crank, and a 4-barrel carburetor with electric choke. It also has a Mallory dual point ignition as well as a Melling fuel pump.

Suspension
Keeping things under control at the front is chromed TCI suspension with a 4-inch drop. At the rear, you'll find TCI Four Link suspension with coilover shocks.
