Thats just about the coolest thing I've seen this week, even cooler than watching the Navy missle launch off the coast Saturday. I have a '40 convertable in my stash I plan on building like my dads first car and this will be a big help, thanks Harry.

VERY COOL HARRY, CAN I ASK HOW YOU FOUND THAT ON THE HAMB? IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A REGULAR THREAD

THANKS

I went to google, typed in "1940 Ford Chassis," and did an image search. I looked at the images and clicked on one that showed the chassis with the gas tank installed.

It took less than 30 seconds.

OH OK, I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE ON THE HAMB. SINCE THEY UPDATED THE SITE A WHILE BACK, I FIND IT HARD TO NAVIGATE THERE

Google Image Search is the best friend I have ever had online, for reference pics!

1940 was the last  model year that Ford pickups used exactly the same chassis & suspension as their passenger cars--so yes, the gas tank should mount in the same place as on a coupe or sedan.
