38-39 ford PU coupla questions
I searched but I wasn't able to find what I was looking for.
Is there supposed to be a welt between the PU running boards and the frame? (Mine doesn't have one) Are pickups generally 4:11 rear ends? I checked the numbers below the pinion and it looks like 379 Thanks in advance Gary |

As long as we are taking a poll, my 39 has a 3.78 rear also. How about the welting question guys?

Re: 38-39 ford PU coupla questions
I bought an extra from a hotrodder that was in a 39pu. It is a 3.78.
No idea on the welt. But my 38 doesn't have any and has never been apart from the factory. BUT this was a hard used bean and corn hauler. Last edited by Tinker; 07-28-2011 at 12:35 PM. |

I have several pair of 38/9 boards and see no evidence that they ever had welt on them.

Re: 38-39 ford PU coupla questions
OK Thats good to know, I Looks like they mostly came with 3.78's Naturally, since I want taller gears, I get a 4:11 LOL But then it was a farm truck from Iowa.
Ive got an extra 38 rear end out back, I will have to go see what the numbers are under the pinion. Looks like no welt, I didn't really think so, but I wanted to ask to make sure. I doesn't look like my running boards have ever been off the car but its hard to tell. (Learn somethin new here every day) Thanks everyone for your responses |
