    To be completely stock you need to:
    paint the grill vermilion to match the rest of the truck
    paint the head light rings body color
    unpaint the Ford script on the tail gate
    swap the 41 radiator for a 40 radiator
    install an original coil
    paint the hinge mount rear view mirror arms black
    get an earlier fuel pump without the glass bowl

    I don't think I'd bother with any of this. Well I'd probably paint the grill red, I like them better that way.

    You have a very nice truck. I'd love to drive it.

    Very cool. Nice as stock, even nicer as the base to a hot rod.
     
  5. Honestly, I would drop it 2-3 inches up front, then drive the piss out of it. Beautiful truck though.

    I have a '41 too and it will remain stock as it came off the assembly line. I have the engine and trans done now just haven't installed it yet. Next 2000 hrs of weld, grind, sand, and paint the body....

    I hope mine will look as good as yours, what inspiration!

    That is one nice truck,did it already have the serpentine pulleys and belt on it or did you add,blends in good.
     
  23. Damn, that's nice!

    Alloy heads, dual carbs on a period manifold and headers would make it 100 percent perfect imho.

    Leave it as it is and it's still 98 percent!

    What's the opposite of a top chop? My employees tell me, at 6'5", that I'll need more head room.
