Projects ‘41 ford pickup project

liked the build, truck looks nice

 

You do good work.

 

Great work and I .earned a couple of things. Did you mig or tig? The reason I ask is that I’ll be doing something similar on my 5W rear fenders.

Good to see the “original” Chevy engine was kept! LOL

 

Love it!

 

Great looking truck! Nice stance as well I can spot the 2040R spring what are you using for your drop axle?

 

Awesome! Nice job, that truck is perfect.

 

Nice job, Id rather see a flathead or a "baby" hemi but I like it.

 

Thank you!

 

I mig weld. You can’t go hog wild. Small welds and cool to prevent warping. Also really close gaps are key.

 

Got the axle from Sid. Great guy to deal with.

 

Wiring is underway. I have a cover over the carb, just not in the pic. Don’t want to drop anything down it.

 

Great build. Glad the grill found a good home. JOHN

 

perfect I have been getting one ordered up with him. Do you know if he narrowed it a bit to compensate for your disk brakes? Also did he just drop your steering arms as well?

 

Nice job, well done!
What are running for steering box?
Any trouble running the exhaust around the steering box with those manifolds? any closer pics of that?.....Looks good

 

When Sid my axle for my 57 truck he did the steering arms as well as replaced my kingpins…

 

It was not a stretch drop. I dropped the spindles myself.

 

Box is a Saginaw 605 P/S unit. Yes the pipes took some thought to route with the box/oil filter. I will take a pic for you.

 

Great job on the build! The front cowl inner fender patch, did you spot weld or plug weld on the fender well part? The blend on the rear fenders looks good.

 

Very nice.

 

Nice work!
One more thing if you don’t mind,
who’s wiring harness did you use?

 

Thanks! The front lower cowl was butt welded at the seams and plug welded where it meets the firewall/inner rocker patch.

 

I am using the cloth covered 12 circuit harness from Speedway. I am almost finished and the only issue I had was the dimmer switch and brake light switch bundles were not long enough to reach the switches. Everything else was more than long enough.

 

Tell us about that

 

Thanks for the info, interesting build....keep us posted.

 

Heat them up red hot with a rosebud tip and slowly move them to where they need to be. Let cool on their own.

 

Nice work!

 

Been following along on IG, but glad you posted the build thread here. Really nice save on this one, and the overall look and stance is perfect. Well done!

 

Thank you very much. First time firing that crate engine up was today and it did not disappoint.
