I had an individual call me the other day who is looking for a right rear fender for his recently found '38 Tonner. He was told about an article on my '38 Tonner and called me to see if I had any ideas where he might find one. I did give him one name to check out. However, since he's not on the...

I have a question regarding the original finish on the bed wooden floor in the 1938 One Ton Express truck. I never found anything specific on this issue. The Tonners are different than many other trucks (especially the ½ ton pickups) that had a metal floor that may have additionally been covered...

In following up my possible fuel line and/or fuel pump issues, I've been trying to simplify my current fuel line connections. I have a solid 1/4" - 45 degree flared line coming from the gas tank which has a 7/16-24 male connector. That needs to connect to the flex line going to the fuel pump...

I have my ’38 Tonner on which I did a Concours level restoration. Therefore, it has a 6-volt electrical system, a mechanical fuel pump and a Stromberg 97 carburetor. Needless to say, it doesn’t get driven a whole lot. When I don’t start it for a while, it is often difficult to start since there...

I am looking to see if I can compile a log of the 1938 and 1939 Tonners that are still out there in any condition and in any configuration. I have a '38 Tonner Express that I restored to stock. It was a frame up restoration. I put together a short 'survey' which can be accessed at the following...

I’m thinking about trying to gather data on 1938 and 1939 Ford One Ton Trucks still in existence today. 1938 was the first year in more than a decade for the Ford Tonner. The 1939 Tonner was similar in style with minor changes and the introduction of hydraulic brakes. In 1940 there were a number...

I'm looking for NOS headlight sockets for my 1938 One Ton Express. The number that I find in the Green Book for the two bulb harness is 48-13076 (vehicles from 1935-39). This includes the parking light and the headlight. I need two sets. The wiring is not an issue since I can have them rewired...

Any ideas where I might find a good set of NOS headlight sockets for a 1938 Ford? I restored my Tonner and took the lights back to the original setup instead of the sealed beams that were there when I found it. My problem is that the sockets that I used were cheep foreign reproductions which...

Now that I've finished my '38 tonner, I've decided to take that headlights back to original. It came with sealed beams, so I'm not entirely certain how everything goes together other than for a couple of general diagrams I have. I've assembled what I believe is a complete set of parts. What...

I'm in the shake down period in the restoration of my 1938 Tonner. I found that I need to replace the generator cutout. It's a 3 brush, 6-volt generator. The Green Book tells me that the number of the cutout is B-10505. I'm looking for NOS, not a new style solid state unit. Any ideas where I...

Wanted: An NOS generator cut out (B-10505) for a 3 brush generator - 1938 one ton truck.
