1939 Ford Truck Cab Wood Kit Needed

[Roadster62]

Who makes a cab wood kit for a 1939 Ford Truck Cab? The body to frame blocks. Thanks! Bob

Mack Products offers a cab mounting kit.

Thanks! I hope they can send a photo before I send payment. Has anyone used their wood kit, is the quality good? Photo of my cab bottom. Bob

Bob a word of caution on the cab wood, there are some 39's with the left over style more like a 38/39. Sometime in mid 39 the wood changed and there is 39-41 style.

I went through this with the late great Dick Spadaro, lots of left over parts used on these trucks so check your old wood with the new versions available.

Thanks! I looked up that old post and most of the photos are lost to the Photobucket me$$. Sure do miss Dick Spadaro. I'll round up whatever pieces I had when I started to take things apart, I'd rather buy a kit than make one from scratch. Bob

Hi, If you are referring to a truck, are you referring to a 1/2 ton pickup or a 3/4 or 1 ton truck. There are no cab wood kits available for the 3/4 and 1 ton ton trucks. I have drawings for these wood pieces which I can provide (1940/1941) which is used on the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks.

OK, All this time I thought the same cabs were used on pickups and the big 3/4 and ton trucks. My cab was on a rack body one ton I believe, has the gas tank filler on the passenger side. I'm building a pickup with this cab, and a stock frame. Bob

Is there any new info on cab mounting wood for a 1939? I picked up a frame and would like the get started. Bob

As I understand it the cabs are all the same but the frames are different between the 1/2 ton pickups and the 3/4 ton and larger "big trucks" hence the difference in mounting blocks.

I have a '39 and replaced the wood. Mine did not have wood going lateral across the cab, only the frame to cab side pieces. I forget the name of the supplier that I got the wood from.

If you send me your e-mail I will send you the drawings!

I have used http://www.horkeyswoodandparts.com.
Made inhouse excellent quality and Bruce is a very nice guy to deal with.
You got drawings he will probably make what you want on custom order to...give him a call and check.

Do you still have drawings of the wood for between the cab and frame. A friend of mine that is not a member asked me to look for this information. He has a 1939 1/2 ton truck.

Thank you for your help.

Bob I see this thread has reappeared, I still have the original wood from my restoration and could ship them down to you to use as templates.

I have the later year and grooves for the cab to set and finger joints that extend the wood pieces to the bed. Let me know If that will help get you started.
