Ford Cartoon
Not sure if anyone else saw this so I thought I'd post it. Not quite correct, but funny anyway.

40-47 Forward Cab Mount Installation???
I've attached a picture from Drake's catalog so the part I'm asking about is clear. I'm pretty sure the drawing is wrong since the wood would have to be under the mount. I bought a 41 truck and...

Front Leaf Spring 1941 Pickup
I'm not sure how many leaves should be in my 1941 pickup front spring. I have 10, but the Green Bible leads me to believe I should have 11. It looks like the 1940 had 10. Would it make much...

Re: Front Spring To Crossmember Pad?
Thanks very much. My Model A didn't have one one, and whether they also had them originally is incidental now since the 1941 is my only older truck.

Re: 1941 truck front crossmember
The author of "Two Great Trucks" is the knowledgeable person I was talking about. He certainly knows the trucks, and is a very nice person to talk to.

Jewel/High Beam Lamp mounting
I just bought a repro Jewel/High Beam Lamp for my 41 truck (I had an empty dash hole). I have no idea how it's mounted or illuminated since none of that came with it. Can someone enlighten me?

My 41 pickup actually has two bolts through the dash with the bolt heads sticking up out of the dash. Is this correct? Are there pictures anywhere?
