'40 Pickup choke / throttle rods
Anyone have a set to sell or perhaps a good photo or better yet, a tracing? Mine are absent and as you guys know, the repops advertised for pickups are not correct.
Thanks!

Re: '40 Pickup choke / throttle rods
The 40 & 41 should be pretty much the same unless the 41 had a 6-cylinder.

Re: '40 Pickup choke / throttle rods
I'm trying to upload the photos I have for you Kube but when the upload is 100% complete VBulletin tells me the security token was missing. I have never had this or any other problems posting photos to this site. Send me an email or PM with your email address and I'll send them to you that way.
Thanks, Seth [email protected] |

Re: '40 Pickup choke / throttle rods
I sent the photos and a short description from my work email, [email protected]. I'm in the office today and if you need more photos let me know, I will get them this evening.

Re: '40 Pickup choke / throttle rods
I had to resize the photos. So lets see what happens.

Re: '40 Pickup choke / throttle rods
Kube, here are some more photos of the rods themselves. There is no rubber knuckle joint in the rods. They are a solid rod from the carburetor through the firewall where they connect to the dash pull knobs.

Re: '40 Pickup choke / throttle rods
I hope this does help. This truck has been off the road since the 1970's and It's in unrestored condition, hopefully the prior owners have not tampered with these rods.

Re: '40 Pickup choke / throttle rods
I'm not an expert but so far the only obvious thing I can spot on this truck that has been changed is the distributor. There is a crab type distributor on it. It even as the engine pans installed yet. Fuel pump has also been changed out to the later type.

Re: '40 Pickup choke / throttle rods
Many of us are looking forward to Kube's new book, no doubt! But I believe this throttle rod request has more to do with the beautiful pick-up that Kube is getting close to finishing-up. DD

Re: '40 Pickup choke / throttle rods
I have both a coupe and a pickup, so it's all relevant.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Lots to see and appreciate in them. WOWx1000!!! Is that Cloud Mist Gray? |
