Door Hinge Pillar. 41 Ford Pickup.
Would greatly appreciate any information you have regarding the purchase of both left & right door hinge pillars. Vendor or information ( drawing) so that I can get them fabricated. I know it’s a long shot but I’m betting I’m not the first to discover the destruction caused by rust.
Thank you for your responses as well as your time responding Frank |

Re: Door Hinge Pillar. 41 Ford Pickup.
I bought a set from northern classic truck a number of years ago thinking they might fit my 39. I would be willing to sell the ones I have. The pair I have, have some surface rust. I can get some pictures tomorrow as they are in my garage.

Brian, thank you for responding. If those pictured are actually for a 41 pickup, I definitely would be interested. You can reach me at my email address: [email protected]

Frank,
I am sorry I couldn't help you out, maybe some one else seeing this will have the pillars (hinge posts). Regards, Brian |

I will keep in touch with you and provide updates as to the other lead you provided. As soon as I get time to inspect the door sills, I’ll advise. Again, I thank you for your efforts! Frank |

Those pillars should be the same from '40-'47. Perhaps you can find a donor cab.

Thank you for contributing! If they will fit, they will definitely be finding a new home.

NewC: Thank you! I’m not sure if the larger trucks will be a fit that I can use. Any pickup cab from 40-47 will work and I’m hoping I’ll get real lucky!!!

Re: Door Hinge Pillar. 41 Ford Pickup.
This is just a thought but you could make a template from cardboard or paper transfer it to a piece of 3" channel iron mill out the area for the hinge pockets, with a cut off wheel sculp the outside radius into the channel iron along with the area that fastens to the rocker panel then weld 1/8" flat stock to the sculpted radius and fill in the hinge pocket with 1/8" or 3/16" metal.

Re: Door Hinge Pillar. 41 Ford Pickup.
Hi Brian: The 3 inch channel is looking like a very good idea.
Your process described above is spot on and the obvious solution. Thank you! Frank |
