Salvagedcircuit Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 34 minutes ago, 89 MJ said: Over the summer, I was able to find another hood for the truck, along with a windshield frame, which I needed. There is a slight issue with the hood, though. This hood is for a 41-46. I need a 39-40 hood. The difference is is the front where the top grille bar is on a 39-40, there is the bottom of the hood. The hood sides are also different. Thankfully, I should be able to trim the front of the hood to work with my grille and I have other hood sides. It’s a shame to modify this hood, but I never found anyone interested in trading this hood for a 39-40 hood Excellent find! Very cool truck you have there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenjeans Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 That’s a good looking truck! My dad was born in 1946 and over the years has picked up a couple cabs. I’m trying to talk him out of this one as he doesn’t build much anymore…. It needs, well…. Everything…. I may build it into a rat rod when I retire… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure you know this, but the windshield frames are hard to find since a lot of them rusted out. Looks like there should be plenty of extra parts around.

My great-great grandma and great-great grandpa got into the hobby when they restored a 1914 Overland that they pulled out of a dry riverbed. We have pictures of it at home. Did you ever find those pics? This is not one of those big fish got away stories is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 My grandma found some pictures of the 40 when my grandpa was building it. His 34 Chevy is in some of them too. I also got a really nice hood for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
