    1940 3/4-1 Ton express frame measurements

    I have "a" radiator. I am not sure if it is the correct radiator. I can measure it up this weekend. I can definitely fab one up if I have some dimensions. Thanks for the help.

    1940 3/4-1 Ton express frame measurements

    Thanks for the info GB. Looks like I am in the market for the rad support(s). I don't have either piece. I will see if the "U" frame from the 49' School bus is close enough this weekend. But the lower cross piece that bolts into the frame is what I need to go find now apparently.

    1940 3/4-1 Ton express frame measurements

    So I do have another question in regards to the radiator support bracket. I am thinking(dangerous I know), that I am missing a bracket that bolts into the frame brackets on either side. I am familiar with the '48-52 mounting which to me looks similar. I have a 1949 school bus, but that is...

    1940 3/4-1 Ton express frame measurements

    Thanks 411Ton. I think I have almost all I need. I am looking for a curb weight of the truck. I know mine has a custom flat bed but a 1 ton with 8 foot bed should get me in the ballpark...I hope.

    1940 3/4-1 Ton express frame measurements

    I would like to think the 1940 and 1941 are close if not the same. I would appreciate any help. I can "trig" it out myself but it would be better to at least have some sort of starting point.

    1940 3/4-1 Ton express frame measurements

    We are keeping the flatbed. The story is that my grandfather had the bed made and installed by a local machine shop so he could haul seed corn in bags. We still have the "original" wooden rack(front "headache" rack) that we will use as a template to remake the sides and rear. I have some rough...

    1940 3/4-1 Ton express frame measurements

    It has parallel springs. The frame is 34" outside in the rear, and 32"outside in the front. I will post some pics ASAP. I have some before teardown and in process. I "heard" it is close to the '46 frames...

    1940 3/4-1 Ton express frame measurements

    I have a 1940 express truck that was my grandfather's farm truck. It has a 1 ton rear axle(17" split rims) and a 3/4 ton front axle (16" solid rims). I have removed the axles for sandblasting the frame. Now that the frame is primed and installed on the frame table, I noticed the front of the...
