Re: New project: ‘41 ford pickup

Vanspeed: I've been following your rebuild with interest. I have a '41 PU as well, although it is pretty much a done vehicle.

Have you gotten into the carburetor yet? I'm in need of the choke & throttle rods. Whether they are available, or if I have to make them myself, I can do that if necessary.

If I make them, I might need the various component part dimensions. If you get to that point let me know. I can take photos to send to you for your reference.

Hi Mike, unfortunately this was more of a shell than a truck. No engine, trans, or anything interior related. I have no rods. Sorry.

Thanks anyway. If one doesn't ask, one will never know.

Little more progress on the ‘41. I know the drivetrain is not ford but this is a customers vehicle and this is his dream car. It should move about pretty well. Cab and bed back on for final time.

Re: New project: ‘41 ford pickup

He wants it for his daily driver to go wherever, whenever? Could you work up a couple of hardened steel pins that lock the rear hubs to the axle housing from say 11/1 until 3/31 or thereabouts? You could manage them from a remote device.....

Scored some ‘40 - ‘41 rear sedan delivery fenders, at least that is what the seller said they were. Perfect candidates to split up the fenders so I could keep the good and l replace the bad. Passenger side up next!

Re: New project: ‘41 ford pickup

All work is done except for wiring. Thanks to those that followed. I know this was not a stock ford restoration but I thought some might like it. Thanks for following.
