    I can't help you much as I don't have a 40-41 truck, but I'm guessing the top of your roof isn't over 6' if by much. I can get you pics of a 40 car cowl vent as my dash is out of mine right now.

    Ryan, that truck should be very nearly the same height as your '40 sedan, I'd bet. Of course, vehicle height is also going to be dependent on the suspension setup, wheel & tire size, and ride height, right? I've had friends with lifted Jeeps on really big tires drop them down to 3-4 psig to get in & out of their garage, but that's a big hassle, having to back out and then air up to use the vehicle on the road.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    yeah, one of my dads buddies has a lifted jeep, has to put smaller tires on it...

    Cool! i would appreciate it! Atleast it might be something to go off of!

    And thats the thing, my garage door is about 6'6" MAYBE... By the way, i did NOT design this garage lol. Right now i would just say that it is a stock ride height.
