Re: 1940 P/U WOC1 - Project
It’s now November 2018, I disassembled the truck and realized the original doors had about 50 lbs of prairie top soil in them. The bottoms were rusted and i did not have the skills to replace the metal straight. Locally a fellow had a really good cab with solid doors on line for sale the cab came from a 47 or so big truck 2 ton farm truck, it came with hood and fenders which proved invaluable for parts and cut offs. It probably had been shedded for years during its life time. This fellow was buying old trucks across the prairies and filling containers, shipping to Denmark for collectors in Europe.
The doors were solid, and the patina was a good match for the rest of the 40 cab.
Frame was sandblasted and the missing or damaged pieces were replaced or fabricated.
