Re: 1939 pickup hood latch assembly question
Thanks Tinker. We'll study this. I dug out the original hood lever to see is there is any difference. (The original was quite pock-marked with corrosion to the chrome.)

Re: 1939 pickup hood latch assembly question
Ya mine wasn't what you would call pristine. But it works. I have replacement parts when I get to it. Still need to paint the hood! Glad to help you if it did.

Re: 1939 pickup hood latch assembly question
Clem and I used the descriptions and photos posted by the great Barners here to make his hood latch work today as intended!
Thanks to all. |

Re: 1939 pickup hood latch assembly question
Any chance you have pictures for how it went together for posterity? Also, was the mystery smaller triangular piece part of it or not?

The key was understanding that the handle needed to be at 90deg and how the “staple “ pushed the triangular piece up and allowed the disc to rotate under the staple to lock the hood when you rotate the handle to straight ahead. |

Re: 1939 pickup hood latch assembly question
Finally found this old thread as this is one of my Labor day projects.
Tinker thanks for those pictures, a little late getting back to this part of my hood on the 39 but been having too much fun with the Model T and will get to this over a good upcoming rain day. These latch pictures are very detailed and helpfull, thank you again Fordbarn |

Re: 1939 pickup hood latch assembly question
Many thanks for the pictures I’m putting together at 38 right now everything‘s done but putting the hood latch on and the side curtains I’ve got two of these latches apart and two hoods a 38 and 39. that small triangle part that you have been question is for a 1939 I have 1938 hood latch parts don’t have that in The hood assembly I’ve got two of these trucks 30 eights and a 39 grill assembly and a 39 hood latches they are different many thanks for the pictures I was beginning to question what I have tinker you nailed it with the pictures these tracks are so old now and I’m sure I’ve been apart many times so it’s hard to be positive what a person has without a assembly manual my memory is old enough now plays tricks on me I don’t like tricks. Many thanks to all of you have a happy Thanksgiving Cubflyer

Re: 1939 pickup hood latch assembly question
That triangle part goes with the points up it’s the last piece in or the first PIece however you wanna look at it and I found that piece in 2 1938 hoods and not in third hood however when checking the 1939 heard it did not have that piece in it and of course the 39 latch is different than 38 hope this helps out some I will try to send pictures.
