No more excuses GB, this might be the one...
Classic 40 ford 1 ton pickup. Took front off to remove engine. Everything is | Glendive, MT Classifieds

Is this a '41?

 

Today's excuse.....But the dog ate my last paycheck..... Dang it! That one is sooo nice. I swore last time I did it I would never buy another rig with no title. Gol darned dangit anyhow. On the other hand I haven't bought my Christmas present yet....... Thanks

 

Just figured I would throw you some bait! I see at least one hubcap.

 

What state is it in? We could all chip in for GB's Christmas present!! Seller is a little confused in the details; Model-Festiva and 4 door,lol.

 

Am I mistaken??

 

I think the '40 big truck hood had the embossed 'V8' in it and the '41 maybe not? Not like we can look how it's titled... This one I had about 15 years ago was a '40.

 

I believe you are correct as '41 had the four, six, and eight cylinder options.

 

Get my last pm?

 

I have the 40 and it does have the V8
in the side of the hood. Thought the 41 had the stainless trim around the side vent. Did the 40 have that also

 

He says it's not exactly rust free. Bed sides at wood floor are bad, cab floors bad, I see it has no glass. Gonna send some more pics. I love the color scheme and the condition of the paint. But the rust and NO title and it isn't cheap. I'm not in a huge hurry. Are the frames the same in '41 as a jailbar tonner?

 

Not according to the chassis catalog. There are four 122" frames listed. The '38/'39 is 81Y 5005, '40/'41 is 01Y 5005, '41 6 cylinder is 1GY 5005, and '42/'47 is 21Y 5005. I looked for diagrams in the '41, '42, and '46 handbooks but nothing detailed enough to show the differences. Stu

 

Thanks Stu. I have two titled 46-47 tonners that are big projects. Thought maybe I could put this sheet metal on one of the frames for a title. Still a lot of work. Hey I was thinking of you because this guy has a 46? studebaker one ton pickup with budd wheels srw . If you look around on the site that was linked you can see a pic. He wants 2500.00. It looks like this one but not as nice.

 

I went back and looked trying to see which individual cross members create the differences. The book isn't real clear but it's probably in the first and/or second cross members. The fact of the '41 6 cylinder being unique speaks front cross member, but that's just a guess. Either way I'd guess the body panels would swap cleanly.

You're being real helpful on that M15! Like I need help finding more sad orphans needing a home. I've been sorta proud of myself limiting myself to the '51/'52s, but hanging around here gets me thinking sometimes about a '46/'47 tonner derelict "needing" a M-H transplant. Adding an OT5-4 to the fleet wouldn't be hard since I have all the pieces. But it's better that I help you add to your fleet instead. Stu

 

I think my shrink would call you an 'enabler'.....

 

Stu, here is that Stu Tonner PU. If you scroll down on the link at the top of this thread it says 'other posts by this person' or some such. There are 3 picturess. Maybe we can 'bundle' this pick......
