Re: 1941 4 cylinder pickup
I ment a guy at the V/8 show in Ga. a few years ago with a 41 4 cylinder. I asked him how it was on the road, he said worse than a V/8 60. G.M.

Re: 1941 4 cylinder pickup
George, they are decidedly worse than a V8 60. It runs...well, just like an old tractor. Handles and brakes fine tho. And to oldrelics, regarding the fender....old farm truck and both rear fenders have been smacked and reworked many rears ago....the right rear was badly done, with the area just behind the wheel sticking way out, and when I got the truck here and pushed on that part of the fender it popped out right above the wheel. It is another matter of $$ or ambition (or in this case skill) and I'm afraid for this particular job I am decidedly lacking in both at present. In time if I'm able to keep the truck I hope to get at this and other small repairs, but in the meantime I'm just going to mostly drive it.

Re: 1941 4 cylinder pickup
Old Clem has a close relative on e__Y. I have no dog in this hunt but if MrMOOSe' 4 cylinder is to your liking you might check it out.

Re: 1941 4 cylinder pickup
there are no differences in the front cross member of my 4 cylinder pu but some of the cross members were made with a deep drop to accommodate the 6 cylinder engine. I saw one and it looked real freaky.
they also made the 4 cylinder in '42. fordman |

Re: 1941 4 cylinder pickup
As I recall the crossmembers were quite different but I could be mistaken....when I find some time and dig it out of the shed I'll compare the 2 and report here, maybe with pix too. It may be some time though, as it's buried pretty good.

Re: 1941 4 cylinder pickup
Ok, here's what I THINK.
The 41's all had the same crossmember. This crossmember has a deep drop and will accomodate the 6 cyl engine. It will also take the V8 and (I guess) the 4 cyl. They did not use different crossmembers in 41 for the different engines, thay all used the same one, the one with a deep drop. I have a 41 and it has the deep drop crossmember. The engine mounts line up with the flathead v8 mounts. The 41 rides a little higher than the 40 due to the deep drop crossmember. The bump stops have a 1" spacer built in. If you fit a 40 style crossmember (to help lower the front) then you should also swap out the bump stops and fit the 40 style that do not have spacers. Again, this is what I THINK. If I have it right or wrong please let me know. Mart. |

If you would decide to change out that rear end, you can sell those low gears to a vintage drag-racer. At one time, they were the "ticket" for drag-racing ! MIKE |
