here is mine....its getting blown apart tomorrow for interior and rear fenders and white walls... I may put it in self etching tan primer till i get money to paint, or leave it.
hey guys sorry for being off topic but does anybody know if the windshields would fit a 40 ford pickup? Im asking because i would like to have the stainless all around the windshield and i dont think mine ever came with the stainless all around from the factory.
No--'40-'47 truck windshield is same as '40 car. The '40 windshield does not open like the '39 and earlier windshields. The gl*** mounts to the lip around the windshield opening with a rubber gasket. The '37-'39 truck windshield frames are same as '37-'39 car--the gl*** mounts in a windshield frame that is hinged at the top and opens out at the bottom by means of a windshield regulator mechanism.
Wow, what a great deal! I wish I would have started with more then just a cab and doors on my 38 build as I would have been money and time ahead. Definitely subscribing to this thread.
Dang son what a score... you must have made a heck of a wish on your last birthday, cause it just came true. Congrats
A great buy! One of the most unfavored pickups now seeing their popularity rising after decades of being used as parts trucks. And you seem to have gotten a particularly nice one to start! Congratulations. AND, for juice brakes you just change the backing plates, add brake hoses X3, brake lines, 39 pedal ***embly IF you're keeping the flattie, 40 if you're not. Brake hub/drum ***emblies from 37-39 are interchangeable.
Ive got all the sheet metal to build one. I was gonna put it on a newer ranger ch***is. But now I really need to get rid of the thing. bad part is I have quite a bit wrapped up in it. They are WAY cool in my opinion. One of my favorites.
