30s Ford Pickup parts problems

[FenderMender]

Too many years ago -help wanted 

In my very depleted vintage parts stash from 65 years ago are some random parts to a Model A Ford it seems.  My brother and I built a number of the Revell 3in1 '32 Ford kits.  However, some of the parts below do not seem to be from Revell kits at all.  I cannot remember what brand kit or kits certain parts are from. If you know it would be a great help if you would identify the kit or kits.  I potentially have some additional small parts that might fit or work okay, but it would be a real relief and blessing to see those kits' instruction sheets, parts, etc. in doing my research.  At this point, I just don't know what kit or kits they are from. Thanks very much for your assistance.  My intention is to make this into a lowered semi street rod pickup truck or a rat rod, depending upon what parts can be scavenged together.   THANKS

Really need help here to get the suspension correct

Revell I believe tho not sure

The Fenders are from the First Edition of the 1932 Ford 'Sport Roadster'.

The Chassis, and Interior Tub appear to be from the same kit, and probably at least one the front axles.

All the axles look like AMT parts.

The Radiator Shell might be AMT or MPC. Hard to tell with looking more closely.

The Cab?

No Clue, I never seen anything like it.

Thank you, Alan.  I wasn't aware of the AMT or MPC kits.  The cab is a stumper for me as well.  However, it fits well over the chassis but covers the sides of the chassis all the way to the top of the running boards.  From reference pictures, it should sit a distance above the sides of the chassis. That is, the bottom of the "door" on the model would be resting on the top of the running board.  In photo, there is the black chassis below the bottom of the truck's door.

The cab looks like the old Lindberg one, sanded smooth.

My thoughts as well Stu.

The cab probably is Lindberg, but boy it has been heavily worked over. Notice the lack of details (as Stu said), and how thick the "A" Pillars are.

I'd guess, that the cab is a very old attempt at a Custom Look.

The cab appears to have been carved from a potato.

That cab is definitely heavily modified. I would say the cab has been channeled over the splash pans. I just started the process on a Lindberg '34 pickup. it's an easy way to retain fenders and still lower the overall height.

[FenderMender]

Thanks Stu and Mark.  You are probably right about it being a Lindberg cab, although I don't think I have any other parts from a Lindberg kit.  Way back when this came into my possession as a teenager, my brother and I were getting bits and pieces from neighbor's kids who had glue bombed kits, got tired of a particular model they had made or screwed up, or just plain quit the hobby for good. So the pieces were random from different kits.

Harry, I have a faint recollection of my brother removing details from the cab and painting it gold to see what it looked like, forgoing a primer.  Don't have any recollection of what kit it would have been from.  But the speculations of it being a Lindberg are probably the most accurate.

In regard to channeling, would the fourth photo depict a 1:1 correct and authentic version of a channeled 30ish truck?  I want to keep the fenders but am debating whether to fill the spare tire deep fender depressions.  Having two spares on the fenders would definitely interfere much with running 4, 6 or 8 individual straight pipes out of the engine sides. Unless, I would do this:

That is one way to do it if you want to keep the fenders. Dropping the cab like that gets a lower overall height; If you try to channel the whole fender unit, you have to deal with tire clearance and suspension changes. 

For my build, I've chopped the top roughly 3scale inches, channeled the cab over the running boards (like pic #4), and will use a lowered suspension. Nice and low, full fendered, and still "drivable".

[FenderMender]

Thanks Harry.

Your build incorporates exactly what I had and have in mind; I just wasn't knowledgeable about how to achieve it, that is "low, full fendered, and still "drivable"."

[rattle can man]

Except the old kit I bought online had tire melt on a fender, the bed cover, and the wire wheels.  And there are some large-area low spots on the roof. very tempted to just put it back on the shelf.

Bob, PM sent.

Cab is definitely Lindberg 32 Ford pick up. Rest of the parts are AMT and MPC as others have stated

 

The lindberg pick up cab represents more of a model a than a 32-34 cab but it makes for a good looking hot rod/custom rod
