1941 Ford COE
Progress being made shows some patch panels, the two in the front by the bumper holes,
I think the company I bought those from is our of business,
I think I 'lucked out' on those, ten panels total I bought.I think there are captions on most of these if I missed something let me know.
Notice the slight Channel where the main rear bead and cab support are
To make
the bed sides we bought three used F100 bed sides and cut one,
and used those pieces. Welded them into longer bedsides.
We used F200 (3/4 tone) front panel and tail gate (they are a few inches winder) so the fenders fit over the wheels better.
The rear fenders are fiberglass for '40 Ford pickups, we had to modify them just a little, the older Ford Beds have raised areas, so the fenders are 'stepped' where they bolt to the bed. One fender also had a 'dimple' for the spare tire, so we cut that out and smoothed out the dimple.
I found original seats and backs on
eBay $100.00 for those. We bought black vinyl spray
cans and painted them black, the rest of the interior is
black. We did all of the interior ourselves, horrible
job, next project I'll take it to an upholsterer.We used F200 (3/4 tone) front panel and tail gate (they are a few inches winder) so the fenders fit over the wheels better.

It turned out OK, but there are some small issues. Being everything is black it is difficult to photograph.
