I am putting a 35 ford pickup together that was all in boxes. I have two questions, I am mounting the front fenders but I can't figure out where the front fender , rear brace mounts to on body or frame ? The entire lower cab has been replaced so if there were holes there they aren't now, does it mount on cab or frame ? Second question is what piece of filler metal goes between front of pickup body and rear of running board ? I have a big gap there.
 
Rick,

Shoot me an email address and I'll send you some of the pictures I took prior to teardown of my 36. They are too big apparently. I can get them smaller, usually by emailing them to myself and saving in a different location.

I think I have what you need.

To answer your questions, the front fenders mount to an inner fender, which is mounted to the frame and cab.

The Front fenders run back and bolt up to the front of the running boards, which run under the doors as well.

The Main brace (the big ones with the hole on top, the headlight stand bolt goes down through the maont pad, the fender, and through the brace) bolts to the fram just ahead of the shock absorber and immediately behind the fron bumper brackets.

The smaller rear brace mounts via carriage bolt on the outer fender, and the inner end mounts to a buried cage nut inside the cab lower cowl.

As I said, I got 'pitchures', man. Just need your e3mail because the board here won't let a lot of large stuff through.
 
Rick 1935...I do not think that the inner fender panels for a 35, 36, or 37 pickup mount to the cab. I believe they mount to the frame in front of the cab. There is also a hole toward the front of the inner fender panel that aligns with holes in the grill and the radiator framework.
 
AND Rick on a further note.....good clean stock pre-War pickups are really the going thing. Ford-Chevy-Plymouth (of course I like the '35-'36 Ford pickup the best) they are all doing well. People favor the Flathead V-8 over what Chevy and Plymouth offer. They sure sound neat with dual exhaust.

From watching the trends the last couple of years, nice pickups even into the late 70's and Broncos and Suburbans seem to be on fire.

Pre-war cars seem to be kinda flat. Model A's aren't really doing a whole lot.

But it's a different story with a 1930's pickup or truck:) And with our little '36 Ford pickup w/ a 59AB flattie it will get out and scoot, cruises easy at 50-55 unlike our Model A that doesn't like to be pushed over 40 MPH.

Only drawback is, it gets kind of embarrassing, the attention the truck draws with people wanting pictures of it and stuff like that. Have had to use it in a few weddings locally; farm kids wanting to be taken to the reception in our pickup! Lots of thumbs up and waving going on at you too. Remember these things when you get her put back together!

And oh yeah, Mac Hils down in Missouri can help with sheetmetal needs here's a link:

Hi Mike,
I too am putting together a 1937 ford pick up. I would appreciate it if you would forward any pictures you have of how the front sheet metal goes together. Please send to the email address at cathy.rekemeyer@gmail.com.

Thanks in advance.
