VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 Looking for some direction on 32' Oldsmobile

The rumble seat step pad on a '32 Chevy rear fender mounts using just a single stud. A second one mounts to the frame using an "L" bracket. Requires a rectangular hole in the gas tank apron and rubber grommet.

Rumble lid latches have been reproduced so should be available. Filling Station catalog shows part no. GR-410.

Thanks Chipper. The Olds fender has three holes on the top middle like a Cadillac does so I assume it's a three holed perch with a single center hole to accept the step pad. The bottom step pad mounts in a bracket that's bolted to the bumper bracket/spring. That one is there.

A friend of mine is restoring a '30 or '31 Olds convertible, I'll speak to him and see if he is interested in your project and getting in touch with you. He has been at his for about 10 years I think, and it appears to be at about same stage as yours.

Thanks for all the help here from my fellow VCCA members. I was fortunate tonight to speak with Jim Conoran of Wexton, PA. He is a Oldsmobile "Guru" much like our JYD and Chipper are Chevy gurus. He was a wealth of info and knows where many of the parts I need are or possibly can be found. I learned that many of the 32' Chevy parts will indeed fit including body panels. The panels are the same from the belt line down and even doors can interchange as long as the Olds top line is welded to the door. The rumble latch is indeed the same and many of the rubber parts also. All this is good to find out. Again to all.
