What are the differences in the front ends of the '39 Deluxe and '39 Standard frames? Are there different brackets? Does each frame have its own set of holes only or do both frames have both sets of holes? Thanks.

Approximately how much does a '40 1/2 ton front & rear suspension weigh? Without wheels & tires. Thanks.

You did an outstanding job preserving the look of a working truck. How sad that the current owner didn't appreciate that. There are way too many restored and over-restored cars and trucks. They never left the factory looking that way.

What are the two tabs at the very front of the frame used for? Did the passenger car frame have them also? You're doing very nice work on a very nice truck.

According to my Ford parts book, the part number is 91A 8005, which is used for the following applications: 39 De Luxe passenger car 39 Mercury 40 passenger car 40 commercial cars (1/2 tons & sedan delivery) 40 Mercury 41 commercial cars Of course these are for V8 applications, not the 4...

The most obvious difference is where the sides of the hood meets the cowl. The passenger car cowl and the pickup cowl is totally different.

I would go with the original cab colour, otherwise vermillion red. So nice to see you say "no whitewalls, no accessories, just plain jane. Bone stock". I am not a fan of over-restored, accessorised trucks. They never looked that way even when new.

Ed. Out of curiosity, is your woodie Canadian-built? Does it have military origins? Joe

My 1940 and 1941 Ford of Canada truck and commercial cars sales brochures show that the one-piece drum and hub was standard issue for those two years. The photos are from the 1941 brochure.

My Dad's 1947 Ford fuel oil delivery truck, circa 1951.

There are 24 cylinder head studs so that would be an 85 HP. The 60 HP engines had 17 cylinder head studs.

My Tudor and Fordor Touring that I bought in 1963. Long gone.

A very Merry Christmas from Quebec. Joe.

Thanks to everyone. Kube, is that pronounced sharp angle on the front side as well as the back side?

What are the differences between the 40/41 and 42 to 48? I'm always refering to passenger car wheels 16"X4". Are there different bolt patterns within this group?

I have a few questions about these wheels. Firstly, approximately how long after 1948 did Ford produce these wheels as replacement wheels? Before and after 1948, were the dates always stamped and were they always stamped in the same location? Were the replacement wheels always painted black...

What are the differences between an original NOS 1940 Ford standard grille center and an aftermarket or reproduction version. How can I tell them apart? Do the aftermarket or reproductions have the part number cast in as the original? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm assuming you're refering to a Canadian-built Mercury. Beginning in 1941 the Mercury used cast iron heads with part numbers C81A 6049A and C81A 6050A. Joe.

Those wheels would make it a 3/4 ton.
