Engine Splash Pans
1940 ford pickup engine splash pans. No sure if the pans went on top of the frame of attached below the frame. Also, were any of the bolt holes to the pan attached using the oil pan bolts? Thanks

Re: Engine Splash Pans
They bolt to the frame and front cross member with what looks like 1/4-20 thread cutting washer head hex bolts no more than 1/2"long with I think 3/8" hex. From the bottom. Nothing go's to the pan that I remember. G.M.

Re: Engine Splash Pans
GM is correct. I remember that I had to remove the pitman arm to install the one on the driver side. You can avoid that problem by making a cut in the splash pan and using a little piece of sheet metal to scure the edges together after installation. Much easier.

Re: Engine Splash Pans
* The pans only install one way. The one with the round hole is the left side, the one with the elongated hole, the right side.
* Originally there was small piece (about 1 1/2" x 2 1/2") of duck cloth between the pan attachment points and the frame. * The pans are part of the cooling system. They do direct the air according to Ford's "plan". Thus, I would suggest installing them. * It is quite easy to remove the pitman arm to install the left pan. Most often though it was cut as 19Fordy suggested. * The exhaust pipe must be routed through the right pan. * GM describes the fasteners the best. However, authentic for 1940 had a 7/16" hex head. All were cadmium plated.

Re: Engine Splash Pans
All I can say is my '37 pans are mounted under the frame using hex bolts and nuts. I have never seen the pan holes threaded on the frame. I take it the bolts are later manufacture also?

Re: Engine Splash Pans
Often the threads have been stripped away. Originally, the frames were threaded to accept the fasteners depicted in this thread...
