I put the bolt and washer for the balancer for my 226 in a safe place so I wouldn't loose it. Of course now I can't find them! While searching my bins of spares I found this taillight door. When I looked inside, I found the receipt from when it was purchased in 1953. Wish I had gotten for 88 cents
I know the factory covers were Painted black. I wonder why and when they had replacements in SS?
I looked in the 28-47 Parts & Accy. book and the polished one was listed for cars and trucks from the 30s to 47. My 48- 54 and 48- 55 Truck P&A catalogs both lists the polished door. In the 48-56 version, they are gone.
No, cars used the shiny one, trucks had black from the factory. I'm sure the stainless door was a popular dress up item, for the farmers who cared. The black truck doors far predate the Korean war.
I didn’t know Ford cars used these same duo lamp housings as the trucks? The cars I’ve noticed like a 39 for instance have the iconic tear drop tail light mounted into the rear fender. Does anyone have pics of a car with these tail lights? I don’t know the cars that well, and trucks just enough to be dangerous. Thanks
Early Ford part numbers, similar to those for our trucks, identified the model of the vehicle the part fit as the prefix. The part number on the tail lamp door here is 40-13448. The prefix 40 identifying it as a part for a model 40 car, which was the 1933 V8 Ford. The same lamp was used on Ford cars through 1936, and on trucks to 52.
