Re: 1940 "project moonshine"

Love the truck! I always get the "When are you going to paint it?" or "Are you really finished with it?!?" Questions.

Chizzler,

Is there anyway you could post pictures of the hood latches that are attached to the fire wall. My truck does not have any and I am wondering if there is a way to fabricate one or if you know of a place that sales them aftermarket? Thank you for your help.

So your front and rear bumpers are from a 50s truck did you use the 40s brackets or 50s brackets to mount it. The 50s are defiantly cheaper then the 40s bumper so looking to do that Haha
