Question 41 Restoration Book?

Does anyone know a good book on restoration of a 41 Ford truck? My dad and I are stating a project and need some good reference information. Would like to have something with good pictures or diagrams on how items are assembled.

No actual books on restoration of these year trucks, at least not a year specific one. Best bet, pick up an original shop manual, take lots of pictures as you disassemble, and feel free to ask any questions you may have here on the boards. We have a few '40-'41 owners here, and the '42-'47's have a few major assemblies that are the same, and there are quite a few '42-'47 owners here. Stick around, you'll find the best info on rebuilding your truck right here on this site. Welcome to the boards.

46FordTruck thanks for the information, this is a totally new endevour for my Dad and I. We have restored 3 mustangs (2-66 and 1-67) but my uncle just gave my Dad a 41 Truck that he bought several years ago. My uncle is the second owner of this truck, but it has been setup for a long time. We are facing just what you recommended, taking a lot of pictures.

I'll be posting a lot of questions.

Thanks again for the welcome message and I look forward to some good discussions.
