Anyone know if the cowl on a 39 Ford Pickup is the same as a 40 ford Pickup. I have a nice set of front sheetmetal for a 40 truck and have found a nice 39 Cab. It would be a good way to use up some parts.

Posted by jbergman  -  06/19/2006 06:15 PM I believe the '39, '40',& '41 are all the same cab, then in late 41 the cab changed to the '42 style that they made during and after the war. jbergman [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Waterloo, Illinois   Posted by pasadenahotrod  -  06/20/2006 02:25 AM These are the trucks: 32 all by itself 33-34 similar but not identical 35-36 flat one-piece windshield folds out, similar but not identical 37 split windshield...more 35-36 than 38-39, foldout windshields all 38-39 similar but not identical, foldout split windshield 40-41 similar but not identical, split fixed windshield 42-47 similar and damn near identical, split fixed windshield pasadenahotrod [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Pasadena, Texas   Posted by jgregory21  -  06/20/2006 05:35 PM I have a driver '41 Ford pickup, and a '41 builder truck, the '39 & 40 standard will work on '40 & 41 truck, the front cowl is a little different than '39 truck, but have heard of it being done. I also have a '47 Ford pick up, They say '40 & '41 standard dog house can be made to work on '42, '46 & '47 with some modifications, hope this will help you!

It's been done many times, like truck cabs with passenger car front sheet metal, ain't nuthin' new, just forgot about and then remembered. pasadenahotrod [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Pasadena, Texas   Posted by pasadenahotrod  -  06/20/2006 08:00 PM 39 DeLuxe, 40 Standard & DeLuxe passenger car front ends can be MADE TO fit on the pickup but are NOT a bolt-on. The cowls on trucks and cars are different and there the fit has to be MADE. The 40-41 Pickups do use the same three piece diecast grille as the 40 Std. passenger cars. pasadenahotrod [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Pasadena, Texas
