COE Roof bracing question

anyone with a 1938-47 Ford Cabover have a picture of the roof skin bracing? I don't even know if there ever was any. If there was, I want to fabricate them as closely to original as possible. My truck doesn't have any bracing, but they may have all been removed when the periscope was cut in the roof. Thanks, Tony

 

Tony my 42 Gmc doesn't have any also my 39 ford pick up ...none . Don't know if that helps . Blue

 

Not sure about your truck, but all of the pickup cabs I've seen(35-47) have none. They had enough dome it wasn't needed.

 

Thanks Blue and Scott. I appreciate the information.

 

None in the '41 Ford COE. I am curious about that rear seem in mine - is it original or has someone back-halved my cab ??

This is my 1947 and it has I guess what you might call a support brace. Hope it helps.

 

It's an original seam. Roof and back panel were two separate pieces. There will lead smoothing it out under the paint.

 

I have the same single brace that Gkent shows and Dough boy
