It's great to see others spending time making these classics live again.
BTW, your hood latch plate and the mating part on the upper grille support are from a 41 six cylinder truck. If your frame was from that same truck, it had a different front crossmember. Just stuff I have happened upon over the years. |
Cool pickup, btw ALL (Canadian) '41's had the forward design latch plate and upper grille brace. Ford Canada verified all 3 of my '41 vins were V8's.
Also the non-deep X mem on one of the '41 was factory riveted (prob using left over parts from '40 - it had an early vin#).....
I've also noticed other variations comparing US-Canadian production.
