Topic: 41 pickup questions


TwoDuckDad    -- 06-25-2024 @ 3:16 PM
  Hi, new to this forum. My dad rebuilt a 41 Ford Pickup 30 years ago. He is now 93 and unable to drive or remember many details of the restomod. It was a frame off job. He put a Chevy 350 engine, turbo 350 tranny, Ranger rear end, etc.

Couple questions for the forum gurus:
Dad had peep mirrors mounted to the door. I hate them. Want to add hinge mounted mirrors. I like the curved mirrors I've seen on other 41 Ford Pickups but cannot find them online. I found straight stem options but not the curved version. Any thoughts pro or con on this type of mirror? Where can I get a set?

I also want to put a proper cab mounted rear view mirror. The two trim tubular pieces are above the windshield with a hole but nothing behind the hole to receive a mounting screw. What is supposed to be inside the tube to receive the screws?

  Nice truck but you might fit in better on the Ford Barn
https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=4

Or the HAMB
https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/forums/the-hokey-ass-message-board.5/

You can join either forum very easily but suggest you read the forum rules for the HAMB and introduce your self before asking your questions.
