1942 1 1/2 Ton Marmon Herrington.
Repairing the cab and she is rough lots of rot and bad repairs .
makes it harder being in England where there is no parts and truck is not so popular. Does anybody know where I could get a repair panel for surrounding the Cowl Vent panel ? I have made all my own sections up to now but this is has a complex pressed channel section. Swampy. |

If cost is a consideration, filling it may be an option.

Somebody, either here or on the FTE 1947 and under forum, has to have a wreck of a cab sitting in their field that has a cowl vent and surrounding metal they'd send you. I gave a similar 48-52 vent and surround to a guy on FTE. Shipping wouldn't be cheap, but better than trying to fab one. Stu

The body metal from a car may work for the repair.

Re: 1942 1 1/2 Ton Marmon Herrington.
It may also be true that a 48-52 complete cowl like I cut out of my junk cab would be either the same assembly, or a close match. This would broaden the scope of your search. Here's the FTE 48-56 forum too. Stu
http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum41/ Edit - here's the 48-52.

You are a nice guy. I believe you two guys could open up accounts at FedX and then his account could be charged for the freight cost.

I will get you a picture, as soon as my computer system is fixed. I got ransomed wared and it ruined my system to add to your existing knowledge--the cowl vent is the same for trucks 40-47, cars 39/40
