Topic: 39 Pickup frame compatibilty w/40 panel truck


Bobs Customs    -- 01-05-2011 @ 9:04 AM
  I am currently working on a 1940 1/2 ton panel truck and it is in need of a frame. I have located a good 1939 pickup frame . I would like to know if the 1939 Pick up frame will fit the 1940 panel truck? Any help concerning this matter is greatly appreciated.

  if you panel is a sedan delivery or a 112" long, the frames are essentially the same from 35 to 40 and even 41 pu

  Thanks for the help the truck I have is 112 inch wheel base and it definitily not a sedan delivery as it has the beltline moulding of a panel truck.

  I believe the radiator mounting holes are further forward on the 1940.

A panel delivery has two rear doors, a sedan delivery has one.
