Default 1940 Ford 1/2 ton interior kits

Good morning, My truck sat in a Utah desert for 52 years.the seats still have their original material on them but are toast.Is there anywhere to get an interior kit to hog ring over my frame and foam?
Also I'd like to find floor carpet mats and door panels

no door panels, just the metal door. no carpet on floor just rubber mat--so if you want these take it to a local uph. shop. seat , headliner, back of cab, cowl panels available from all good V8 venders. carpenter, mac,s, and others. the originals were green no matter what color of the truck

Check with Quiet Ride Solutions (www.quietride.com) as they make all the panels needed for the '40 pickup. You might also check Cartouche interiors which is a division of Mac's.

I've used Cartouche kits on a 49 half ton and a 46 Tudor and was satisfied with the results on both.

I found some interior kits on Cartouche.I was looking for white interior to go with a Grabber blue exterior. But I'll entertain black or brown....I'm a ways from that decision right now anyways. Thanks so much for the tip

Yup, hog rings for the upholstery. You'll want to invest in a better version of the ring pliers if you value your hands.
