Re: 1940 3/4-1 Ton express frame measurements
Do you have the large 'U' shaped radiator support and fender holder-upper? That ties everything together and mounts to the front crossmember with two large head carraige bolts and little else. There are springs like valve springs under the crossmember so the whole front clip has some 'give'. In this photo I show some temporary stay rods made from conduit so I could drive around without the front clip while I dialed in this transplanted six.
