82-B Closed Cab - Steel Top Pictures?

Post by Neil Wilson »

Does anyone have a picture of the 82-B steel top cab which is a good shot of the steel top? I am looking for a high resolution picture. So, it would have to be sent via email since only low resolution pictures can be posted here.
Regards, Neil Wilson

Neil, I can take some pics of our 32 82-B cab roof and send them if they will help.

Tom,
Is your '32 an AA? I know Ford made the AA's through February 1932. If this is the case, then pictures would be great.

Are the rear fenders you look for the 195-A express on an AA131 chassis? If yes, then I have a pair to sell (they need work).
Regards, Neil Wilson

Always understood that AA production in'32 was to finish up contracts, and thus did not use the BB sheet metal (?)

Below is the type of picture I am looking for. Except I would like a shot a little higher to show more of the roof top and the sunvisor + moulding.

Shelby & Bob,

Thank you for finding that Fordbarn ad. I am looking for a photo which shows a view of an original or refinished cab top. I don't need the complete cab showing a side view (which most pictures are). The view I posted above would be great if it was taken from a higher point to show both the top and side.

I am wanting this photo for proposed modifications to the AA section of the Judging Standards.
Regards, Neil Wilson

What doe the steel top use for a headliner? Are there any interior wood cross bows like the vinyl top would have? Presently my steel top doesn't have any wood bows or headliner.

Click on the Fordbarn link in Shelby's post above and see the two metal bows under the top.

Seeing the two top bows on the Ford Barn posting really helps. Thank you very much. Now, only one question still remains, "was there ever anything covering those two original steel top bows? Cardboard headliner or ?"

Neil:
I just sent you the following photo directly to your email account. Forgive the dust - Henry has been sitting undisturbed for quite a while.

Okay, The photo which Fred posted is the basic angle I am looking for. I took this picture and cropped it (see attached).

Now all I need is this type of shot but in high resolution so it can be used for printing. And, some shots of the underside showing the support ribs would be great.

High resolution pictures will have to be sent via email. Photos posted on the forum are limited to low resolution shots.
