Re: 1941 pick up build
Ooh this will be fun to watch.
Those round cutouts in the bed rail - were they for welding cylinders? Mart. |

Re: 1941 pick up build
The top of the roof actually crushed top of the doors and couldn't even open doors, thus all of the interior chrome pcs were still intact

Re: 1941 pick up build
Top of the doors were rough also. Lots of work but this is a special gift for my wife. Got back corners squared up again ready for top from a donor 40 cab that had an excellent roof.

Re: 1941 pick up build
Now on to the floor repair, we called classic trucks in michigan and they sent us the new floor and lower cowl pieces. got tired of working on floor on ground so leveled up the mock 2x6 frame I built this made life easy and a bit kinder on the lower back now that I could sit on a crate and nt bent over.

Looks like a good start. My cab was made from two different donors as well.
