1932 Ford BB Truck - Field Find
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Over the last two weeks we have shared the secret stash of a local junkyard. While a few of the cars are salvageable and will hopefully see the road some day, the 1932 Ford BB that we pulled will not. Matt and crew work on taking apart whats left of the Ford truck. While it mostly looks like a rusted heap, there are some salvageable parts that will live on. The firewall from the truck is a 1932 only part, and it fits all of the cars! So Matt is going to set it aside for that 1932 3 window project that needs a firewall. We hope you enjoyed this episode and be sure to check back on the rest of the cars we saved from the Field of Dream!!

That makes me think of the cars I tried to buy in the 60's that were in decent shape and the answer always was " I don't want to sell it I'm going to restore it some day". 50 years later that's what they turned in to. Some good pieces you got there.
Glad you saved what was left. It's a shame someone didn't think to save the whole thing 50-60 years ago!
Obviously the jewel would be the firewall. I wouldn't have cut that frame though from what I could see. Thanks for sharing
The best part about the 32 truck is that you saw it and saved as much as you could of it. Great video as always!
Great work saving the usable parts.
Love junkyards.👍
Kind of sad to see the ole girl harvested, but she gave her life so others may live.
Honestly much better than seeing her rot away in a swampy back lot of a wrecking yard. I was sad too when he started cutting, but at least the good parts are salvaged.
I had a '33 Ford BB that was much more complete and sound than your '32. It had a factory V8 which everyone wanted to buy from me as true and correct '33 Flatheads are rare. (V8 trucks were an un advertised option) I wanted to restore the truck as it was built so wouldn't sell. That truck was one of the most fun vehicles I have every owned. My kids learned to drive on it, I told them if they could drive it with its 5spd non-synchro trans, no power steering and mechanical brakes they would be able to drive anything.
I also have a 33 BB 157" truck. The original V8 engine had a bad #3 rod. Now has a 1952/3 V8 engine in it. Was a grain truck from Great Falls MT. GVW 14.000 lbs..
What I always thought was cool is how with old truck rear axles, they would repurpose the axle tubes as jack stands. You see old time garage pictures of these at work holding up whatever. Don't toss those tubes away, more old gold.....
Check out the vid where they scored some engines recently,there are a few diff housing axle stands in the back ground. I've used them myself years ago .
I guess this is where knowledge of vintage vehicles comes in. Frankly, when I saw you pull what looked like a rusty pile of junk from the weeds I could only wonder why you didn't take it right to the scrap yard and couldn't imagine there was anything left worth keeping.
I like the dash, it looks to be in good shape
The best part of it was watching you save the good stuff. Yep Hoya Hoya Tom t .
The fire wall is in good shape
shame you killed the frame, surely somebody would have wanted that,
I have a friend with one that he can’t hardly give away for years now. I have too much stuff and can’t keep everything and this frame less than desirable for the work involved to disassemble and save it.
@@IronTrapGarage I would've taken the frame, I would like to rebuild one of these 32s but cant
Problem is the frame is the last thing to rot out, so no one with the rest of the truck is really lacking a frame unless its been crashed or something.
Good show glad you got the relics out of the grave and back in circulation.
Best part off the 32 BB? I'm gonna go with the firewall.
I'd have to agree with you that the firewall is the best part. I'd also be after that front spreader bar. I think the BBs had a different steering wheel and gear box though.
Give that truck a blue ribbon for being a doner of its parts.
Matt, you make sense!
Good 1
Rusty junk and heavy crap.
What more could you want.
Keep it up from Aus
Excellent Truck/Parts find, Brother!
Oh, also, First!👍👍
That 40 ford two door looked interesting!
The rear axle is neat, it looks like it has Budds on it just like modern trucks.
Frame looks better than the cowl dose
Problem is no one really wants a big truck frame.
the cowl and tank
The vedio just gave me more ensenitve to work on my 45 pickup build, I know how hard it is to fab the stampings
Hey Matt. Memory may be wrong, but check that truck's rearend. Is that the rear, that one half of the rear, is used for quick change ... can't remember which bell ... or if that's the year range for the big truck rear to be used anyway. Just look. You'll see it right away, if I'm right ... or wrong. :) Take care, bud'.
Ha !! Wrong ! You likely already know ... 1947 thru 51 3/4 ton rear is the quick change bell rear. Doh' !! Sorry !
Matt, I thought I read somewhere that the BB frames are good to use with a car build that will run a higher horse power engine. Is that incorrect???
I had a model 32b just a bit better than this cab. my doors were 1/2 gone on the bottom I remade the whole bottom inside and outside about 5 inches up both sides. channeled it down about 5 inches with a 1 1/2 raked floor. Boy did it have a cool mean stance Big block gm 454 and old school powerglide with a shift kit. ford 9 inch 4 bar coil overs rear, reversed eye front leaf. the best thing about b32s and are the full steel roof/visor everybody chops the top I like the head room ! and the way i did this You needed every bit very little floor space with the trans. tunnel and seat bottom was only about 5 inch off the floor. Maybe If I can find a few snapshots I will send them Your way just for kicks Its been about 26 years ago on the build. Keep Rodding Nice shop!!!
You should build the B banger, Matt! :-D
I have one already! This one got sold
Well, then... ;-) @@IronTrapGarage
Was that horn save-able?
Its kind of sad but it for the better
man ive done this a dozen times'''they drive by and say''the recyclers closed today,laugh, ,then.............a year later they ask where did you get that,thats neat/thats them and im me/rust is must
Dude ... scrap Heaven isn't "in the sky" ... it's in the forge / smelters pot ..!
That truck is factory nothing wrong with it. 😂
what did u pay for all these cars ?
Shame on you Matt, that is Not Rusty Shit. It's Ford Gold, lol. Be careful the ole man will come down an beat ur butt. Carry on my friend. Terry
I will really want it and I'll take great care of it please chose me your awesome
Hi Matt......I am most disturbed to see you guys doing work with just your bare hands without wearing any protective hand gloves......all items were super RUSTY , what if you have a cut on the skin....? other than that I do enjoy watching your every episodes without fail..........Well done Matt.....!
I think it's all awesome parts it can go on so many different cars for that year and why weren't you wearing gloves you could have got a tetanus shot I love the videos guys
Guys, hey, how about some gloves and eye protection ? Well at least a proof of tetanus shot !
Nice find ...............good luck.
this was boring.....im selling my model A
Shame a sincere restorer didn't find this rarity before a profiteering butcher did 😕
I totally agree with you. If this was their goal they should have just left it alone.
A "restorer" wouldn't touch that.
Kyle Skiles ~ speaking as a restorer, I've tackled worse projects. Not everyone wants the easy stuff.
Most of the model T's, A's and B's you find now are the cars the restoration crowd passed on during the restoration craze.
That 4-banger would be a great swap in my 29 Tudor. 😉
Great film! I like that you save this "junk" as ppl call it.
Those BB wheels have some value, if usable. If not usable for tires, they make a nice air hose or extension cord hanger
Hell yeah or good for haanging garden hoses too!
Best part?
Wheels, wheels make any car or custom vehicle.
Those back wheels looked pretty cool to me.
Were the front wheel there in the field?
Negative! It's that Model B engine!
You're not crazy, anything 32 might as well be solid gold.
BuildN Stuff not really, unless you want total original. there is a company right now that makes all steel bodies from Henry Fords original molds. starts at around 20k if I remember correctly. you can get a complete roller set up
@@kennethlaw5216 Not the same as original and anyone restoring a car would rather have oem over aftermarket trash
David Cruz not many people restore a 32 anymore. they aren't worth it. resale for an original car is half what a hotrod is. even these ratrods Matt build are bringing more then originals. I'm not one to tear up an original car, I would like a complete car to remain that way, but really money talks
Kenneth Law, I don't know about your situation, but personally the idea of spending 20k on a bare roller is way out of reach. And please don't call what Matt builds "rat rods". He puts a lot of time and thought into making nice, traditional HOT rods. I saw his coupe in person a couple weeks ago, it is very well executed and has no parts that seem out of place or unnecessary, there is nothing rat about what he does.
That was sick !!!
Spray the jack with areo kroil works miracles
I like the cowl with the dash and steering components the best. Great video Matt.
Good video thanks for sharing
The grill and the cowl those two thing's everyone that is building a rust rod they are always looking for. I saw this video where this guy made his own 33 radiator grill shrerowd for his rat rod Ford truck
Tuber Johnathan W is looking for a 31 windshield frame. I had to watch again to see if your 32 had one. Hope your healing well. JW just started on a coupe. Very ruff. Love to see talented men on sheet metal.
At first I was quite depressed seeing her cut all up like that, but honestly it is better now that the parts that are valuable can still go on to live in other projects insteaad of rotting away in a swampy back lot. I knew you were going to say it was the same as the car firewall for that year. That was my initial thought that you were going to save that section to go in a deuce hot rod car.
Also seeing you have gotten a few more subscribers since I last got a notification. That is good keep up all the great work bro!
I’m surprised the frame isn’t of any value, looks heavy duty like someone could build a half Tom truck with a more rigid frame to build off of.
The fire wall and the motor are the best things? The leafs might work on another vehicle to raise and lower them to a different hight.
Should have saved the wheels. 28-34 only and bring $100 a piece usually
Cut apart old rusty shit? Yup yup 😁
That grille would be great for a rat rod, moss and all.
have a friend told me about sub-merging parts in vinegar a few days
..what do you think?
RLECOMPTENTERP.84 Works really well. i put salt in. Citric acid works too. But not good on brake parts. They can fracture.
I would think those Model T truck frames would be hard to come by and would be worth saving?
This is a model BB, several years newer then the model TT (1 ton) and model T pickup. Nothing in common except who built them.
We have a bb with the long stepside bed like the Waltons 📺 show used. We have another with no bed. Ours trucks are in great shape compared to this. Good luck.
Great video as always
I realize that truck is almost a hundred but WOW! It’s almost dust!
i thought u mite rebuild the bb that would have been nice to take to shows as a car carrier .just a thought love your videos
I love these tear down episodes! Driveway O.R. Instead of scalpels and sutures it's plasma cutters and tractor buckets! Love it.
Matt that old tractor is really working out for you guys
Well that ruined my day because I wanted the frame.
I have a friend with one that he’s been trying practically give away for years now. If you are actually looking for one send us an email. Irontrapgarage@gmail.com
Nice, Nice, Nice...👍👍🇧🇲
The firewall is the part of value, but my favorite is the rear end / differential. Great video.
I rescued a 1934 Ford P/U out from a gully in Montana. It was in much better shape than this one and is now a finished chopped, channeled, stretched all Ford Hot Rod. Nice video! Thanks.
hey guys great video im working on a 32 bb in my shop v8 was junked carb missing full of water and cou;d see block cracked so decided to up grade trying to graft rear section from 1980 f 350 rearend frame pretty close and 400 v8 lots of work but its gonna be fun keep up good videos
The dash is a biggy and of course the steering box if it can be salvaged. That is the most but that firewall has nickels and dime written all over it... that said, the back window could be a pattern for some old glass from a different make but the back window is there and still one piece, the glass with the hole in it could be someone's dream of a bonnie and clyde car theme And the engine could be a test for soaking metal in vinegar. Check out videos where they soaked car parts in vinegar and it was bare metal. I sen the broken spring pack but the rear axle if soaked in a bathtub one end at a time might surprise everyone Although the bearings might be gone but who know being out of sight and having grease at one time could be surprising... I would like to see a video of that done real. I always see the carburetors done like that and thy come out with a blast of air and the kit goes in to run like new. Now we both know better than that but lets find out how serious a rust it will remove. Just get a 55 gallon barrel as a ad for heinz or some other company that might sponsor this GOOD LUCK
Not gonna say the firewall is mint, but compared to the rest of the truck, it's surprisingly good. BTW I have seen rat rod idiots using wheels off BB trucks, so you could probably get a few bucks for them, good or not.
Nice to see you put what was left to good use
Ford or Chevy, I love the sound of those old 4-Bangers.
Old truck! Garbage! Going scrapped not good
I cant believe your cutting it up. Looks to me it have buffed out like new.
Personally, I would NOT have cut that frame like that but it's his truck. To me what was done made it better to have just left it alone or crushed it.
I would of liked to see it been built into rat truck
Shame to see one cut up but i understand y it has to be
Screaming at screen, "Where are the gloves?!".
Commando Hando...
The B 4 would make an excellent basis for a real Hot Rod. Were the 33 and 34 four cylinder trucks the ones with the firewall mounted stabilizer ?
The best part is y'all are saving it for the fucher generation
What in the hell is a "fucher generation"? Did you mean "future generation"
ur caps look silly
Nice work saving that Cowl & Motor/Trans Matt, I was hoping you would the underside of that fuel tank didn't look so bad for a 32considering how HEAVY built those trucks where back in the day, 3/4 - 1 ton is underestimating it, More like 3-4 TON LOL
Wish I could save that IH COE... Man I want one so bad.
The grill ranks the best for cool ads wall hanger stuff.
However I like the 4 banger B motor. I've seen a lot of hopped up original 4 cylinders at car shows. They aren't super fast but I go fast all week in my f250 working.
Nice video. Thanks ITG
The best part?....That would be the part where we learn something great from watching your videos.
I found a jack just like that one in a city lake.i even got it to work and have used it a few times
Here is some rigging etiquette. When using a nylon strap never basket the strap alway choke it and you could have possibly used a second one as well. It will save on back stain and the item you're lifting won't slip out of a choked strap but most definitely will if you use the strap as a. Basket. Like in 7:28.
Did you save the drive shaft, I know the drive shaft is inclosed. That shaft makes great spud bars or pry bar's keep that in mind that shaft should be inch and 1/4 thick or inch and a half.
I'm glad you saved it from completely going back to the earth . It would be great to build a street rod with the B engine and maybe take it to Race of Gentlemen !
Ken
Great video. Two things. Wear gloves when doing sheet metal work. And make sure your tetanus shots are up to date. Stay safe guys.
Just how about much is one of those old engine worth would be fun to have one on a stand out in the garage.hoya Hoya Tom t .
just watched the first bit.Looks like somone forgot were they,d parked!
That black 40-ish willis looks nice
How many leafs were in that rear pack!?! lol
As many as they could fit!
I would make a doodlebug
if engine wasnt stuck. id love see yall try get it running again!
Would have been a shame you built a bb truck out of that.
You should build a 4 banger rod
Have a good engine just need to find the right body.
