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:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
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.
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!)

Here's a picture of a '41 that I believe is original. This Sedan Delivery also had the full wood grained dash.

Good point. I didn't think to look at the Body Parts list book. I see those two strip listed on page 59. I also see 5 bows were used. The three in the back that attach to the wood framing are the same. There are two bows (different part numbers) listed, that must be in the front. I only have one bow installed and now am unsure of where the two bows go. Any way you can take a picture of the two front bows and where the are installed?
Thanks for your help.

The 37 Ford body parts list calls for passenger car headliner retainers part numbers 78-736682/83 to be used on the sedan delivery. I do not think you would need the retainers if the headliner was cardboard. See attached photo.

You have peaked my interest. I have a 37 Sedan Delivery that soon will get upholstered. I am doing everything I can to make it original. I talked to Roy N. and he said the headliner was upholstery material. The Henry Ford book I have states that it was fine grade colonial cardboard. I have what I think are the original headliner ribs installed. Any way to settle what the original headliner material was???
Thanks,
gregg

There's a sedan delivery in our area( owned by a friend) that has the same dash configuration as the one you had. Standard dash with deluxe gauges, deluxe knobs, standard glove box door and no trim strips. It also has the deluxe door handles and the deluxe front end. In looking at many sedan deliveries we also found that some had an actual headliner and others used the cardboard style headliner. I think there are a lot of unknowns with sedan deliveries.

A '40 Delivery I once owned had a Deluxe speedometer, door handles, dash knobs and a Deluxe hood and grille. However, it had a "standard" glove box door with no clock and no holes in the dash for the small chrome strips above and below the ash trays. The Delivery came from Hawaii and did not look like it had ever been a hot rod. Still had the stock splash pans in the engine compartment.

Joe's truck is a Panel Truck, rather than a Sedan Delivery. It is configured like a pickup and is correct.

And " Delivery" is incorrectly spelt on the cover page.

While reading the latest edition of the V8 Times I was drawn to the advertisement on page 13 for Joe's Antique Auto Parts. Curious to know if the Sedan Delivery pictured in the ad is correct....
