Re: Lincoln OD Transmission
I installed one in a '40 several years ago.
13" out of the torque tube & driveshaft, plus a little crossmember surgery made a great combo.
Mine had a 26 tooth gearset.

Re: Drake 40 door seals
I have the Drake 3 sided door seals on my '40 coupe. Been there for about 10 years.

Re: 1940 Ford coupe door latch
At one time Bob Drake sold a retrofit drivers side keyed door lock assembly.
Is this car a recent purchase for you? Perhaps a previous owner installed it.
