So I'm getting close to starting my decade long 1940 ford pickup project. I have the stock generator installed (as far as I know it works). I had the coil converted to 12 volts, plan on using the original starter as is for now. It was my understanding that the generator will charge whatever...

Did you ever get an answer on these?

My truck Is using stock running gear. I removed a leaf from the front and swapped 2 from top to bottom of the pack in the rear. What is the original rim size? ( I think 16x4) and what is the backspacing on the original rim?

Can any of you that have 40/41 pickups please post pictures of your ride. Please also include the tire and wheel size (including backspace) and any suspension drop/mods you've done. Looking to order my wheels and tires, and I'd like to see what others are running! Thanks!

Thanks for the responses!

Thanks for the quick reply!
