Customs converting car sheet metal to truck

Has anyone tried to put the front cap from a 39 standard or deluxe car on the cab of a 37-39 or 40-46 Ford pick up truck?? Trying to make a pick up with a car front cap . Any help would be appreciated. Thanks....loneranger

 

Someone is building a ute now. I saw it the other day. It may have been a '41 though.

 

It would be more practical to put it on a 38 to 41 PU, since the frames are pretty much the same...the '42-47 Frames may cause issues with mounting,
Someone on the Fordbarn put '36? car front end on a PU....don't recall who it was though

 

Can help you with the specifics, but I've seen it done with 34 front sheet metal and 46-48. Just don't remember where. Looked really cool!

 

It's been done a few times and has been on the. HAMB. Looks very nice....worth the effort in my opinion.

I've seen several over the years. They are usually good looking, but the owners were without exception skilled metalmen. It isn't nearly a bolt-on deal.

 

Actually truth be know there is very little that we do that is bolt on or bolt together. Everything takes a little Jill flirting and some thought, even for those of us that have been doing it awhile.

I should try and find that thread that I just saw with the car sheet metal on the pickup. It looks really nice and it is boat fender stuff like say around '40 on something like maybe an F1 type of a truck.

Might take a look at this, not exactly the same but some good examples.

 

Yeah,it's been done with some pretty nice results,although I saw one with 40 DeLuxe sheet metal and just didn't work. HRP

 

Here's one, don't know whose it is
