Thread: 1940 Ford Pickup

All good stuff coming forward to help you here and some funny comments about the dog too. I personally would like the driveshaft safety hoop mounted towards the front more and incorporating a full hoop which the driveshaft passes through but still has suspension travel space. The safety hoop on my Bucket is made of a light tube which is then bolted to the frame but passed our strict certification laws and means that if the front universal does give up the driveshaft is still retained up of the road.

More work on the Forty brought more questions to my mind. 1st one is about ground clearance with things like the trans oil pan. I blocked the tranny up too about where I think it will sit . It seem to hang low under the frame.


Can't really go any higher without having the motor mounts raised to the upper limits of the front cross member. As it is their 1/2 inch from the top of the Mustang 11 front end {by measurement, not yet welded in}.

The last thing is the help, always goofing off.


How low does your trans and engine hang below your ride ?
