Thanks for your interest in this very unusual, interestingand scarce 1932 Chevrolet canopy express pickup project. I suspectthis truck is much rarer than even any panel delivery or any other commercial vehicle Chevrolet built in1932.I bought it a few years ago at an estate sale a few miles north of where I live in Bozeman Montana.I suspect it had been setting outside here in our relatively dry climate for at least 50 years or perhaps even more. It wasparked there for some unknown reason and someone later removed both of the rear axles for another car. If you are into Chevrolets of this vintage, you most likely already know that many of them had weak rear axle shafts.
This vehicle is the later 1932 style that had a slanted rather than a vertical windshield andhad 2 rather than 3 door hinges on each door as the earlier pickups did. I believe Chevrolet made that change part way through the 1932 production year. This vehicle has the painted headlamps so it was the standard version. There was also a deluxe version that had a chrome plated radiator shell and chrome plated headlamps. This vehicle could be authentically restored as a deluxe version with a chrome plated radiator shell and chrome plated headlamps.I believethe deluxe version may also have featured a pair of chrome plated cowl lamps but I am not sure about that.
This truckwill need a complete restoration. I believe the missing hood will be the same as the hood from a 1931 Chevrolet passenger car. The same will be true of the missing headlamp bezels, reflectors and lenses.The left hand tail gate latch is missing so one will have to make one usingthe right hand tail gate latch as a pattern. I believe a window regulator and aninside door handle are also missing and they too should be the same as the 1931 passenger car's parts.
Typically, the 1932 Chevrolet commercial vehicles used much of the sheet metal that was used on the 1931 passenger cars. Likewise, the 1933 Chevrolet commercial vehicles used some of the sheet metal parts that were used on the 1932 passenger cars. I do not know how long Chevrolet continued this program but I suspect it was for at least another year or perhaps even longer.
Since these photos were taken, I located a very nice looking correct radiator and painted commercial radiator shell which will be correct for this vehicle. I have also acquired a few more 18" wire wheels which match the front wheels and I believe are correct for this truck. I have not yet located a hood for this truck but a 1931 passenger car hood should be correct.
The engine appears to be the original one and itappears to never have been frozen orbroken at all. Of course it is stuck and will not turn over. Some of the dash controls and gauges are missing or damaged. I have both of the long curved sheet metal panels that attach to the rear cornersof the cab and extend all the way back aboveboth sides of the box. They are shown in some of the photos and were removed for safe transport before some of the other photos were taken.
A fewof the sheet metal panels have somesmall rust holes or blisters in the bottom of thembut they are definitely repairable and worth saving. All of the wood in the cab and box will need to be replaced but it is good enough for patterns.This is a serious project but it can produce a very rare and interesting vintage Chevrolet for your collection and future enjoyment.
