Thought I'd drag this thread up from the dead. We've been working on the '40 a bit over the last year. Swapped in a B-body 8 3/4, aluminum radiator and installed a Scarebird disc brake kit. I'd like to drop it a bit, but I think we're going to keep running the flathead 6 for awhile. It needs a clutch soon though.

That thing needs more gear and a clutch.

That put a smile on my face, you must be pumped!
There is just something about driving an old truck. Keep us posted as things progress. Gene

Looks awesome. I want an old truck like this to put my name & Son's Speed Shop on the doors all patina'ed out & use it as a parts chaser & swap meet truck.
