Opinions wanted & goodies found.

First I've located this two door that I'm 90% sure is a '40 Ford. Not sure of the year. It has one savable door. What should I offer for it? I think it would just be for trade but I can't leave it there.

I also brought home some goodies. Air cleaner housing (don't know what it is but it'll look good on the Nailhead).
Cool radiator shell that could make the front of my modified. Some stamped steel wheels and a funky turn signal housing.

Check em out.

'39/'40 Ford sedan body...don't know what the grille shell is...looks like something off a tractor...the air cleaner is missing the snout..looks like late '50's/early 60's GM ...old truck turn signal...artillery wheels, possibly early Chev...
I like where the spare is located in the sedan body!!!

40 Ford sedan for sure. Looks like good trading material.

Does it have a dash in it?

I don't know why, but I love artillery wheels! Were there 3 or 4?

 

Here's the bolt spacing on the wheels. I could just find the three.

 

Does that say 4 1/4?? I never heard of that, but thats what it looks like to me. I'm looking for 4 1/2s.

 

Early Chevy rims have a 6-lug pattern...

 

Actually, That looks like a 4" spacing.

 

If you want to get rid of the aircleaner, I'd be interested.

Cool scores. Neat stuff.

Grille is from an M&M (Minneapolis Moline)tractor.

 

Absolutely a 40 Ford. Windshield Wiper tower holes in cowl.. 39 Had wipers above windshield.

 

probably 4 1/2 because he isn't maeasuring across the C/L. 4 1/2 inch pattern measures aprox 4 1/4 across holes. If that makes any sense

 

This has probably been covered before but on a five bolt lug pattern, you can measure from the outside of one stud to the centerline of an opposite stud and get a very good approximation of the bolt circle measurement. I'd call these 4 1/4". Real close if not the same to early Cuda and Valiant.

Thanks for the confirmation on the '40 Fordness. Also the MM tractor grille info. I probably won't use the wheels so if someone can use them, PM me.

mid 30s mopar used wheels like that. I thought they all have a extra hole for line up pin. If its 4 3/4 could be like 36 buick or the larger gm.

 

Aircleaner is off a '57 Chevy 283 Power-Pack 4-barrel engine, minus the snorkel of course.

Thanks Bart for that tidbit. Now I'll have to go back and see if the bottom is there. I wonder if there are replacement snorkels.

Those wheels appear to be 37 mopar wheels. The trucks had them, and they have a 4-1/2 inch circle with 5 bolts.

 

is there a dash in the 40?? interested if there is

 

In the '40, the floor is there but the dash is gone.

 

The MM grill is a '50s U or UB, they're both the same grill.
