I would appreciate assistance! I am trying to source where to locate the cab/body and chassis measurements for a 1932 Fordor sedan so I can compare with a 1934 Fordor cab/body. This will assist me in choosing which vehicle I will use for my Hot Rod project. I need the same details for the 1934 Fordor as well. Regards Brian Lewis (Australia)

Start with the frame details here: http://wescottsauto.com/WebCatalog/Tech/FrameDiagram1932.pdf http://wescottsauto.com/WebCatalog/Tech/FrameDiagram1933-34.pdf Be sure to note the '33-'34 has a longer wheelbase. Charlie Stephens

"The 1932 Ford Book" put out by the Early Ford V8 Club has dimensions for the '32 4 door on page A-5-7. I assume the '33-'34 book put out by the club would have the dimensions for the '34. I know I have seen those dimensions somewhere else, I will sleep on it and post again if I remember anything. UPDATE: I think trjford8 posted where I remember seeing this information in his 6/28 post. Charlie Stephens

Thanks Charlie for your helpful information. I have had a problem accessing the site but with a bit of perseverance from Bruce Nelson the Web Administrator I have manager to connect. Thanks to you I now have the chassis dimensions for both cars. However the bodies, in particular the cab dimensions are still proving a little elusive. Do you know if it's possible to view "The 1932 Ford Book" electronically? Also can it be purchased in the digital format? As the postage to Australia is more than the books. Disc would be a more reasonable purchase once I know which vehicle I'm going with for the project. Thanks Again. Regards Brian Lewis

The V-8 Album put out by the Early Ford V-8 Club has those dimensions. Call the Early Ford V-8 Foundation and you can buy the book. Not sure on price( I think about $30), but it is on their website. Well worth the price www.fordv8foundation.org.

Brian, It is an excellent book (The Early Ford V8 As Henry Built It, A Production Facts Book, 1932-1938) but does not contain the information you need. Charlie Stephens

Hi again tjford8, I have not been successful as to be able to see "The V8 Album" in the Early Ford V8 foundation book store listing. It is probably my inability to navigate the system correctly. Do you know of a know of another direct way in, so I can purchase this addition? Regards Brian Lewis (Australia)

Brian, go to the Foundation website and scroll down to where you see "Contact us". You will see an e-mail address and a phone # for the Foundation director, Josh Conrad. He's very responsive to both methods of contact.

Try searching here, at fordbarn.com, at ahooga.com and HAMB for "The V8 Album". Include the "" so you get only hits with all the words. Be sure to check alternate spellings "V 8" or " V-8" since people may list it differently. Be sure to call on the old ads because if they still have the book they will probably drop the price. Also ask if anyone has one that the could read you the information you need. Charlie Stephens
