Re: 1940 "project moonshine"

Hey Chizzler, let me know what you find out from Steele Rubber. I would be interested in getting one that's like the original. As far as putting up pics, I'm still collecting parts for the project so no "real" progress yet but I love what you and paintman are doing! When I get to a point where I can start I'll put something up here.

Re: 1940 "project moonshine"

found out from steele rubber today that the the back window gasket does not come with holes in it.they are drilled once it is in place.it is a vulcanized 1 piece seal.

Re: 1940 "project moonshine"

So do you think there is a down side to using the less expensive one from Jim Carter or similar place? For the cost difference it might be worth it to experiment with it and if it turns out to be less than satisfactory it's really not that big a deal.
I was going to put a couple of pictures up on here of what my truck looked like when I got it but I'm not sure how to do that.

Re: 1940 "project moonshine"

i do think buying the $19 one would be worth it.thats a $70 savings.if the pics are in your computer you go to advanced then click the manage attachments and it will direct you.

Re: 1940 "project moonshine"

I tried several times to upload pictures but I keep getting a "security tag missing" message. Maybe my files are too large. I'll try again later

Re: 1940 "project moonshine"

Hey Chizz! If you have a chance can you take a couple of close up pics of how you mounted your bumper. It looks like you made some kind of pockets for it. It looks as if you and I ran into the same trouble with our sway bars where we had to make extensions to the frame rails. I was trying to figure out the best way to mount my bumper. I might copy yours if ya don't mind. I was just going to through bolt into the frame extensions I made, but your deal might help solve a couple of other problems I have.

Re: 1940 "project moonshine"

on my year truck the bumper bracket would have bolted flat onto the frame horns.we had to cut them off when we channeled the cab.we ended up cutting up the used brackets i got and welding them to the frame.we kinda just made it work.your extended frame horns might need to be cut down not to interfere with the front fenders.my sway bar mount is only a few inches from the bumper bracket cut outs.

Re: 1940 "project moonshine"

Overall I think the frame is about an 1 1/2 longer then stock. My bumper originaly bolted to 2 bumper horns that slid up into the frame and then had a bolt run through them from the top of the frame and nutted on the bottom. With the sway bar bushing mounts now having nuts on the inside of the frame it doesn't allow me to slide those horns back in to there original spot. that's why I thought those pockets you made looked pretty slick.

Re: 1940 "project moonshine"

we threw the horns out and welded to the outside of the frame.if you already have bumper brackets then just fit them and bend a little and make them work.

Re: 1940 "project moonshine"

your project looks very cool. Cant you use glass setting tape around the back window and then screw it together with the diecast trim? Are you using the stock glass with the metal frames in the side windows?
