Might be a 40 pick-up. Look at the P/N inside, will start with 01C for pick up. That latch handle sure looks like a truck version to me, they are...
The spring loaded pin is the column lock. It fits into a sleeve on the steering shaft when the key is in the off position.
I didn't want the wire type trim clips to chip the paint around the stainless trim holes on my '39 convertible--and cause rust to start. I made...
I am having the same issue with the hood latch on my '40 Pick-Up. I have the std. passenger car latching hardware, but the connecting bar from...
Thank you, that is exactly what I needed to know.
Need some advice, getting ready to install the hood on my '40 truck and can't decide if the hinges should be mounted on the cowl first and then...
I feel your pain! Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Yes, early Ford pedal brackets are indeed FORGED.
Crossmember is straight, surface rust only--not all pitted. Has a couple of "hair-line" cracks around one of the U-clamp holes and another in the...
Most excellent work, you are a craftsman.
Heat, then let cool. Heat again and drive it out with the hinge supported. Always worked for me.
Pair of '39 DLX-'40 Ford hood supports. Were media blasted and primed. Sloppy pivot rivit was replaced with a shoulder bolt and brass washer....
BTT
My original '32 sedan had a 3/8" thick rubber pad under that bolt--no spring.
With some changes, that will be a real nice truck. As stated above--get a nice stock frame and build a traditional chassis.

Well now, on a '39 Dlx and '40 hood (I have both) the hinge arms bolt to the inner hood support. The 1/4" fine thread hole in the support...
The Carpenter piece is what you need. Its the easy way to get the job done. The wire exits the steering box at the bottom thru the existing end...
I always use the '40-'47 pick up horn wire and metal cup, it goes over the Hex nut and the spring pictured seats on the shoulder. The "cup" has a...
I used the Dodge version on my '32, they are shorter than the Ford units. Still require them to be heated and bent a little to get the right...
DLX speedometer--Std./truck panel.
One thing I always do is to reduce the diameter of the "splines" so that you don't have to pound the crap out of the pin to get it flush with the...
I have been using their paint products (mostly primers/sealers) work well, half price of local paint suppliers and free shipping!
Two springs? Pretty sure there is only room for one coil spring under the button. Thats the way mine is.
This is the one year only hood brace/latch assembly for for '41 1/2 ton trucks. Media blasted and primed. Includes latch pieces as pictured....
Lime Works TS112 turn signal switch. New unit, was mocked up but never used. $100. SOLD. Optima red top battery mount tray--aluminum, used. $25....
Everything I build leaks, thought it was just me.
