The Ford Barn

Anyone here in Fordland have/know of a source of drawings with which to locate the various holes drilled into the sides of the frame rails?

Wescotts drawings skip most of them in the drawing they provide, and my frame is so badly out of shape I don't trust most of it.

Someone in the interweb world must have it because you can purchase frames pre-drilled for the various body parts to bolt to.

Thanks guys.

I believe you are casting too wide a net.
35,36pass frame are the same.
37,39 pass are the same.
41 frame is different from all.
42,48pass are the same

1939 had the conventional frame and the deluxe with the new radiator fan set up made a change. All the 1940 ones had the new radiator location. As was mentioned the 1941 car was different. The early 1941 pickup frame was a lot like the 1940 pickup till it was changed to fit the new G type 6-cylinder engines mid year. There are a lot of subtle differences even between years that are near the same. Open or convertible cars had differences from closed cars.

As was mentioned, you need to get it down to the year model for your application and then maybe someone can help you.
