Hey docrock, I was just taking a closer look at your build. Most everything looks good, but you may want to take a look at how far back you have your master cylinder mounted. In the one pic it looks as if the brake lever is going to hit the floor board when it is all the back.

I have mine mounted about 2" more forward then yours and my pedal just barely rubs my floor in the full return position. I know what you are saying about hitting the trans crossmember. I had to give the top of my crossmember a wack with the sledgehammer so it would not rub the bottom of the master cylinder.

Re: My 42 Project

Ok so the good thing is it fits in the hole. The holes in the flanges are not pre-drilled. Placement is up to you. I cut an inch off the flange so it would go lower in the radiator support. Gives me more fan cooling surface. Also it gives a little more room for the cap. It comes with the overflow on the correct side. I am not a fan of the angle that the flanges are mounted on but it also is at the same angle as the fan, so better cooling. I like the brass fittings, and the trans lines are sae instead of metric. Overall I like it.Name:  20160803_124603.jpg

Re: My 42 Project

Been a while since I have been on. Finished all the mechanicals and it runs great. I drove it back and forth in the garage. Had the grill chromed. Electrical is started and the basics are done. I am build a standard bed for the truck instead of the flatbed. I am missing rear fenders. Options are 350 each on fiberglass, 1941-46 models. 250 for fiberglass 37-38 fenders. I have not seen any steel fenders anywhere. Dont know that the 37-38 fenders will even work.
I saw a truck with 47-53 steel fenders but don't know how those work either. I have not seen a lower grill valance made out of metal. Might have to make one. Not a fan of fiberglass

Re: My 42 Project

When we re looking for rear fenders we bought a complete 37 just for the rear steel fenders............. they did not fit!
The glass ones look great and just need a little support and they will work fine
