Yes, I painted the cab by itself, then the individual pieces for this one and my '40, in the driveway. A lot of wet sanding.

I worked with my painter on the color sanding and he did the buffing out. His paint work was very good with only a little orange peel but, I decided to finish it out. As it turned out it took four hours of sanding and buffing for each fender, hood and doors. Lots of work but that is why a good paint job costs so much.

Great job - good looking truck!

Thanks, yeah the 4 spd is a real..well, let's just say you really drive it.
The '40 is an 8BA with a C4 a/t.

SSsssteamer · 10-01-2013, 10:56 PM

I took the three speed transmission out of my 1946 pick up and installed the non syncro four speed. I have never regreted it. I use the pick up almost everyday and the granny gear is really handy for crawling along on rough ground. Double clutching makes it as smooth as a full syncro transmission. 1940 and 1941 are my favorite pick ups. It is great to see the nice work being done here to preserve them.

mike42 · 10-02-2013, 04:43 AM

Cloud Mist Gray......sweet color on the '40. My'40 Sedan is that color. Classy !

I had a '49 F-1 I sold my Son and miss having a pickup !

Nice job on all.

Mike

FHFD · 10-02-2013, 06:53 AM

Thanks guys, actually the '40 color is a generic green I bought from TCP Global (it was too John Deerish for my taste) so I added some white, and some black until I came up with that color.
The '41, again was just a generic color, I addded white to it to come up with what I liked.

mike42 · 10-02-2013, 07:12 AM

For sure Sweet.....
