Don't know about the 39's, the grill I have fit's 40 standard and 40-41 pickup's.
Update
Just looked at 39's and their grill appear to only 2 piece
Have seen some after market grills that look like 39's that fit 40's.Last edited by Navy7797; 06-28-2020 at 01:55 PM.

Well Happy New Year to all ! This is the year my truck will be on the road . I said the same thing the last 5 years, but its true this time.
Lots to post but time is all I need.
Here's a pic of new , newest exhaust
Reason I needed new exhaust is that I needed ground clearance, so I went to oval pipe where needed.
Why did I need more clearance ? Because I had to go to smaller tires. Why smaller tires ? Because I couldn't get the dang tire off the rear axel without dropping the axel off the air ride , slight over look during the buildLast edited by Navy7797; 01-16-2021 at 07:54 PM. Reason: dumb thumbs

Where did you find oval pipe, or did you flatten it yourself?Robert

Today was torque converter change day. Reason , the converter was causing forward movement unless I stood on the brakes. It wasn't meant to be in this lite of a vehicle , I installed a 2200-2500 rpm converter.

I saw this on FB on a Pullmax Group page, basically a set of dies is used to flatten the tubing. This arrangement would allow you to assemble your pipes using mandrel bends and then flatten afterward in order to have a smoother transition in the corners/bends. I know, day late, dollar short. (story of my life) But even for a guy without the reciprocating machine, a set of dies made up like this and adapted to an arbor press would get the job done.. albeit more slowly.
