Re: 1940/41 truck hoods
Did all the 41s have the different hood latching mechanism, or just those with a 6 cyl? They really stretched the design to accommodate the 6 and made it very weak structurally. I had a 41 6 cyl for...

Re: 40 ford master cylinder
Thanks, Terry. I was beginning to think the vinyl washer went in first. The metal-looking washer is actually fiber in this kit.

Re: 40 ford master cylinder
Yes, I know that logic. I’m sure the cheap imports work, but this one is US made and in good rebuildable condition. I guess if I bought a new one, I could pull it apart to answer this simple question.

Re: 40 ford master cylinder
I must be dense, because I'm still having trouble reconciling the rebuild parts in the kit with the diagrams. I don't see a "rubber appearing washer with hex shaped hole". The documentation mentions...

Re: Patch panels
I used rear corners from NCT on my 41. I had to cut away most of the inner flange to mount it on the frame. Doesn't show and better than making my own, but they should fix them. Glad I did a test fit.

Re: Flathead year matching vehicle year Q?
Shouldn't the "correct" head be a "T" head rather than an "A" head. That is what was on my 1940 half ton. I have built an "A" motor for it bored out to 1/8" over. Will use the "T" heads. It should...
