I am getting older and am looking to sell various parts from my earlier restoration of my 1939 pickup. I have 1938 Pickup Grille with fender aprons (I believe from a ¾ ton pickup). In my early restoration of my 1939 (I was learning), I sent off the center trim for this grill for restoration as...

In my early restoration of my 1939 Pickup, I purchased a rebuilt steering column. As I got into the restoration, I realized this was not the correct steering column. Rookie mistake. I moved forward, read how to rebuild my column, and then rebuilt the column. Thus, I have the column I purchased...

Hope these images come through.

Here are pictures of my mystery hood. I don't know what it might fit. Any advice is welcomed. Thanks. K

Thanks. I will take a picture (should have done that) and see what the members have to comment. K

When I was restoring my 1939 Ford Truck, I had two hoods. Unfortunately, I didn't pay close enough attention when I had one painted. When I got ready to install it on my 39, I discovered there was a ridge down the center from the cab end to about the center. The ridge did not match up to my cab...

My two cents. My father may or may not have changed the front shocks. However, someone did and must have put a tube shock kit on the front. When I was doing my restoration, I decided to keep the tube shocks on the front and rebuilt the Houdaille shocks on the back. With the number of springs in...

I have what I think is a 1937 truck. I got if off a ranch almost 50 years ago. The running gear is there including the transmission. If I get off my duff this spring, I plan on offering up parts off the truck for sale. If there is any picture that I can take to help you figure out what you need...

After I posted these pictures, wonder if I need to turn the front bumper around. The picture of the orignal green truck had the bumper different than what I did on my truck. If someone knows which is the correct way, please let me know. I appreciate the comments. Thanks to all. K

It is the same truck. As I mentioned, I learned to drive on this truck. Once I retired in 2010, I began the restoration. There were many frustrating times. One of the worst was replacing the perch bolts. I worked on them about 4 days after PB Blaster and numerous tries to free them up. When I...

Maybe this will come through.

Apologies, I need to figure out why my picture of the truck today won't upload.

My followup picture.

I considered converting my 1939 truck to 12 volt and finally decided that it worked back in 1939 so why change. Thus, I kept everything as stock as I possibly could. No regrets on doing that. When rebuilding the electrical wires, I soldered all connections. I kept the rebuilt generator and...

Thanks to all that replied. Deuce Lover: My fan is off the generator. Gary U: Do you have a picture of the shroud you mentioned? HD Rider: I am planning on sending off my extra water pumps. Do you have any tips on changing them out once I receive them back from Skip? I have to raise the...
