Gee guys, I didn't know that my hall pass had to be approved before asking a question.

My son and I are building a replica 40 battery tray for our pickup. Any Barners have any of the dimensions? Thanks guys.

Not interested in selling them. Simply want to match up a pair for a 1946 59AB engine that is in going in my 40PU. Prior to using, is their a preliminary resistance or continuity check that would spot a bad sender? Thanks.

I have several flathead heat sending units and would like to identify them for the years they originated. Any Barners know of a list that shows the matching numbers? Thanks.

Thanks. Appreciate the information. Thought maybe they mounted differently.

I'm using 41 doors on the 40PU that I'm building. I notice that the books call for 41-47 interior door handles/cranks. Anyone know the difference from the original 40 PU? Thanks.

Thanks Alan. I looked, and sure enough the longer one with two holes is for the commercial. That means that those advertising their ornament as fitting both models are not being accurate with the public. Thanks so much.

A real beauty. Well, your life has peaked now. You've landed the big fish. Kind of sad. Maybe you would consider throwing it back?

I'll be purchasing a new 40PU hood ornament. But, I want to get the correct one. I have two old ornaments hanging on the garage wall and I am wondering which type fits the 40 pickup (both appear to be the standard style)? The flat service (where the handle connects) extends 2 1/4" and has only...

Factory designers didn't put the dual horns in as a focal point. Rather than detract, they added their small beauty as a final touch. A beautiful blue hardtop body is the focal point. The classic red tail light is the accent. Henry's men put it together with the entire field of vision in mind.

I'm building a 1940 Ford pickup and often see door windows for sale with frames around them. I was under the assumption that the glass windows simply rolled up into the felt track. Do the pickup windows need metal trim frames that go up and down with the glass? Thanks Barners.

He will live on in your heart Jeff. We all were lucky to have known such a good man. John

Re: The 7° Road Trip Great stories and photos. Made my day. Thanks.

Had to eat my words. Just purchased an NOS one on ebay at a reasonable price. It is for an early 6v Ford. Nice to see that Made in the USA stamp.

I took the relay apart to look inside. The coil wire is very small gauge, but I believe most windings are fine wire. The only thing left is heavy connection terminals. The wiring going to it is same size as original. Yes, I would gladly clean up an original used 6V horn relay but haven't...

Building a 1940 pickup. I read an archive thread on wiring your classic and the person ended by saying that he always adds a 50 amp fuse from the wiring harness to the solenoid. But, when I checked 50 amp fuses at the auto stores, they are all 12v. The holders have wires much smaller than the...

Building a 1940 Ford pickup. I ordered a horn relay on line several months ago (don't remember the company now). It has a sticker on it that says 6V, but when I examined it closely there was a 12v stamped into the metal cover. Any chance that it will work correctly on 6v? Also, the terminals...

40 Ford pickup. Have need of a photo showing the Resistor & Circuit Breaker board correctly mounted under the dash. Difficult to find since no one ever photographs the inside of the firewall. Thanks.

Pickups rule. Thanks for sharing those great photos of a great machine.

Preparing to rewire the 1940 Ford pickup I am building and noticed that the ignition resistor is missing on the breaker assembly board. (Two wires hanging.) I've read that the ballast resistor should be 1.5 ohms, but I see in the Macs catalog that their 32-48 ignition coil resistor is listed as...
