Well, I stepped off in to the deep end and cured my lust for one of these trucks. Traded my A pickup to 41FordVert for this little cupcake.
Both Mooneyes USA and Mooneyes Sweden is building -40 pickups ! Chicos is chopped and has a shortened bed, while ours is stock body. Last one to finnish buys the beer
Mine , small block, t-350, I wanted a 302 Fin a F, but was not to be. Have taken off the peep mirrors, mo better
Roll pan okay, had frenched 39's okay , I was thinking exhaust on each side of plate with donuts around them. But too close to gas tank.
I heard that '40 thru '47 Ford cabs are the same. From a California boy who has built several '40-'41 Ford trucks.
Well stated, Rustygt. WELL STATED ! ! ! It is this kind of splitting-hair bullshit the HAMB doesn't need.
I've commented in the past about your '36-'40, but it deserves another "attaboy". Appears to be a vehicle that Edsel had a hand in building. He was truly a great designer, dying too early in 1941.
Holy crap, metalman. I can't figure why YOU didn't A/C it before you sold it. Reno is another Yuma is another San Antonio.
Gary, since you like the 36 Fordy so much; here's shot of the revised stance I just completed. Here's the before... going the other way! 1.5" in rear; not sure about the front but is a bunch to me!
BTW, I sold essentially ALL of my 40-41 Ford pickup stuff to a fella in Indiana this past weekend. 6 great doors and several with bad bottoms but loaded with regulators and complete latch mechanisms. Bunch of great windshield mouldings as well. I think there were a total of 15 fenders; including 3 rears that were pretty good. Also one really great hood. Too many people were starting to call me a hoarder!!! I sort of WAS!! I feel somewhat naked. Only have a 40 chassis, cab with solid floor but needing other usual repairs, and a title. Now have more room to get to work on finishing the 36 cabriolet project.
