Do you have the lower grill apron? Maybe called a shield. It bolted inside your grill down low and would pretty much match the dimension I think you are asking about. Apologies if I am not understanding your question.

Funny I asked a similar question a short while ago. You might find what you are looking to see in the pictures that members offer to me. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=221871

Sounds like this evenings plan. Thanks.

Thanks for your replies!! Did you take them apart any further or just spray what you can see? Rivets would have to be ground to separate the gears from the plate.

Here's mine after a vinegar dip. I'm not sure what to do for a lasting finish. Even the re pops appear to be just painted. The various contact points will wear quick and begin to rust. Any pointers? Thanks. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk

Haha. Yes, I call it a truck or a pick up but apparently Ford didn't. Going by what fordors and v8coopman wrote, researching by "truck" gives specs based on 122 in wheelbase models and not the 112 inch "commercial" that we all think of as a "pick up". Regarding the 40 frame and serial #...

I'm working on a "commerical" car(?) 112 wheel base What Henry Ford didn't want to call a pick up or truck. Not a "panel" . This is my build on the HAMB. I post the build there as my restoration will have mods and wont be 100% stock. '51 Merc flathead, T5 5 speed , parallel leafs, 8in diff are...

Much appreciate the info. I left a fender and running board at a salvage yard as they were marked "panel" on them. Being unsure they'd fit my "commercial" truck. I'll take this information and go have another look. Thanks again.

I think that's where my research gets confused-what I think of a "pickup" ford called it a "commerical" throws me off every time. I appreciate your information.

Looks like the panel truck had the 122in wheel base, so that answers my running board question. I still can't find if the front fenders differed and I wonder about the hood. There is lots of discussion about the differences between truck and car sheet metal....

If theres a thread discussing this, i cant find it. are 40 Ford pick up, front fenders and running boards interchangeable?? Direct me or link me to a thread if you can and save starting another... ? Thanks

Welcome to the Ford Barn.

Still looking.

Following along. I am appreciative of your build threads and seeing the progress and quality of work and detail. Thank you. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk
