Early Ford V-8 Club Forum

FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

  1. All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
  2. You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
  3. Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
  4. Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
  5. No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
  6. No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
  7. VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
  8. EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

    http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

    Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)
  9. HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

I am trying to install a Period Correct Inside Rear View Mirror which i understand was an option in 1947. I have accumulated a few at swap meets over the years. The black one & the blue one has screw holes that do not line up with the trim holes at the top of the middle of windshield glass. Also the Vermillion small cover piece does not line up with screw holes to cover that joint. Might some know more about this application?
Thanks!!

I believe that if your pickup was to have a inside rearview mirror, there would be dimples in the metal header above the windshield mouldings.
This would be similar to the dimples in the metal header if there were to be sun visors in vehicles.

You may have passenger vehicle interior mirrors and that is why the mirror brackets do not line up.

Hopefully a late 40's pickup owner will reply and clarify.

The cab on a '47 is basically the same as the '40-41 pickup. I suspect that the mirror would be the same as the one used on those pickups.

The bottom mirror in my photo does look like it will work, there is 1 screw hole that lines up & fits on the center windshield divider, it places the mirror a little lower that displays backwards thru the rear window better...still can't figure how/why that joint cover screw holes do not line up, i would not think Henry would have had more than one size of those?? Certainly does not look right to just have 2 holes exposed like that....

Did ALL 40 & 41's come with a rear view mirror? If not, was there a joint cover with them? I have a 46 pickup that has a black mirror like the top one in my photo & it fits....BUT the center divider in it & my 47 do not have 3 screw holes in the very same position....weird!!
Thank you guys!!
