I used Turnswitch also. Like the features and pretty straightforward installation.

I also used Sanders. Good results.

Great truck! Thanks for sharing.

I purchased lower door patch panels (inner and outer) and lower rear cab patch panel from Mac's a few years ago. Fit pretty well. Got bed sheet metal from Mack Hils - top notch.

My '38 is 1/4 - 20 (w/cage nuts inside).

Picked up this old book at a local farm auction this weekend. I know many of you probably already know about it, but I found it to be an interesting addition to my modest collection of EFV8 stuff.

I installed a Cartouche kit (headliner, door panels, kick panels, etc.) from Macs in my 1938 PU. (At the time, LB told me they did not provide kits for pickups.) Reasonably pleased with results. Kube: Want to make sure I understand what you stated above. Are you saying that pickups did not...

It will be difficult to line everything up without the old frame, inner fenders mounted, radiator supports installed, and the grill loosely fitted. Front sheet metal looks pretty solid. Good luck.

My fenders do not have the corresponding hole. I think we can chalk it up to some sort of running production change. Or maybe Henry just wanted to save the cost of an extra bolt. Thanks to all.

Yes, my cab does have a cage nut there.

My front fenders mount to the cab with two bolts and cag nuts. There is a third bolt hole near the base of the cab, but there is no matching hole in the fender. I can't remember what was there, if anything, when I disassembled the fenders some time ago. More curious that concerned. Does...
