I'm working on piecing together the bed for my 1940 Pickup Project. Its a difficult task when you don't have an existing bed to work from. The bed subframe is comprised of two side sub-rails that attach to the bed sides, two metal cross sub-rails and two wooden cross braces. I've been working...

I was looking at the reproduction stake pockets for my pickup truck, and I noticed they are not the same as the originals. At the top of the stake pocket there is a round hump and on every picture I can find of original trucks from 40-47, that hump was not there. I wonder why they put it...

Can anyone tell me the full part number for the 1940 Pickup Horn / Bracket? I'm trying to find one and I'm not sure what the part numbers are. I think maybe this horn/bracket combo was used right up to 1947? I've attached some pictures for reference Kirk

This post will be a bit long, so bear with me: As some of your may know I'm trying to put a 1940 Pickup back on the road. It was a basket case project that's been apart for decades and the previous owner was trying to put a Mopar into it. I'm putting an 8BA in and converting to 12V negative...

On the e-brake cable there is a hold down that you can bolt to somewhere. I don't see an obvious spot where this would go. On my 1950 I believe it went to a transmission bolt, but I don't think the cable is routed the same way on a 1940 Attached are three pictures, which I hope will make clear...

I have a couple questions about mounting the cab for my 1940 Pickup 1. Was there a rubber pad between the wood and the frame 2. Was there also a rubber pad between the wood and the cab? 3. Was there a rubber pad under the front mounting point at the firewall. (The spot where there is no wood)...

Looking for a 1940 crankshaft pulley and fan For an 8BA conversion. Kirk

On my 40 Pickup I have a 4" drop Magnum axle and posies reverse eye spring. This combination has shortened the distance between the frame and the front wheel cylinder, so the stock brake hoses are too long. I'm sure quite a few people have drop axles on their chassis, so I thought I would just...

I've read a lot of the threads on here about putting an 8BA into a 40 ford chassis, but in those threads I don't remember any discussion about the fender yoke conflicting with the 8BA pulley. I've attached some pictures, what are the options for getting around this issue? Kirk

Looking for a NOS or good condition 1940 Ford headlight switch for my pickup project. Part #01A-11652 Thanx, Kirk

A couple years ago when I rebuilt a late 3 speed transmission, I was able to buy countershafts with O-rings on them for better case sealing. I think at the time they came off of Ebay. Now I can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know who sells these now? Kirk

Is there any off the shelf colour that is close to the original for a 1940 Heater? The V8 Times had an excellent article in the Jan/Feb 1990 issue where they describe the color as: "heather gray pastel" color with 3 red handbrushed stripes. They continue on to say 1940 Ford (Eaton) heater...

This is a wiring diagram I pieced together to represent wiring for a 1940 Ford Pickup, modified for 12 volts with turn signals and license plate light using an Autolamp 9000 signal unit. Its pieced together from 40 standard and later Pickup diagrams I found around the net. Have a look and let...

I'm cutting up a new piece of wood for the seat base on my pickup. (Someone on facebook was nice enough to measure theirs up and send some great pictures) The base has a routered bottom edge, which I assume is for the material to be stapled, but it also shows they routered the point where the...

Looking for the center seat brace for a 1940 Pickup. See attached picture Thanx in Advance Kirk

In my ongoing saga of trying to put together a 1940 pickup that was taken apart 40 years ago, i thought i would test fit the seat springs. Previous owner bought a new set of Snyder seat springs in 1994. Still in the box, proudly made in America. Sadly they were either made wrong, or they were...

I'm looking for a 1940 pickup steering column, and I wonder what other years used the same part? I think all the cars used a column shift, whereas the truck is a floor shift. Anyone know what years / models used the same fluted end column? Thanx, Kirk
