I put a 3.60 third member and torque tube from a low mile 50 special with dynaflow in my 40 special sedan. Bolted right in no issues. 1/4" added to wheelbase.

20 + ship

I've got one I think was on one of the 40 specials I parted. Rounded and not squared off. Will need blasted and painted looks just like the one in the first pic.

All three of my cruiser cars,53 super restomod, 52Ford f1 and 40 special have150 amp powermaster alternators and optima red tops. I use the optima battery tender for maintaining. The ford and 40 have 6V starters and they zip to life. No problems. The 40 spins so fast that you can crank it in low and by the time it fires you can shift to second. All 3 had new wiring front to back. It's really the best way to go.

On my 40 sedan the factory rear light sockets were ok but the terminal part was destroyed. I went to u pullit and clear in the back row of gm cars was a 67 pontiac catalina. looked in the trunk and the snap in taillight sockets were there. Cut the wires long and snapped them out. Got home and they snapped right in to the 40s housings.

Redi strip

In 1973 I was stationed at Charleston air force base SC and had just bought a new 73 dodge dart 2dr 318/3 speed no air. The local Montgomery Ward was selling under dash air units so I bought one installed for $49 .At that time I think I was making about $200 a month so that was quite a bit out of pocket. Thanks to a working wife or I wouldn't have been able to buy it. A/C was needed because of the high temps and humidity there.

I sprayed mine with white and it really made a difference for such small light housings.

All I have is the number plate but not the mechanism.No gravel deflector.

I don't know if I'd trust the colors. Two of my cars came from a desert in socal where they had sat for 40 years baking in the sun.

3 clock mechanisims with bezels and glass however the reset points are dirty or need replaced

I parted 3 40s anything else you need?

I dont have a better camera

Try this best I can do

Actually what I ended up using was rubber matting from Home depot. My car is slightly modified looks real nice

From parted 40s all sorts of goodies. $40 for all. Also have one 16'' 40 wheel $20 plus shipping

Did you ever have a quote on how much it would be to rechrome it all?

With your setup as is you will need a front and rear vertical steel channel. front will have to be fabricated because it was on the original wing window frame but it's not difficult as you can buy channel material repro.then the u channel fuzzies can go in as 1 piece from lower front vertical up and over door frame and down to bottom of rear vertical. You will need your original lower window lift channel but may have to recenter the glass because of no wings. I wouldn't go back to wing windows, the fabrication involved would be mind numbing.Just get into it and you'll see how it goes. I did my stock 40 special 4dr sedan took my time and it came out better than the factory did. Windows roll up and down like new very quiet.

Ever since my race car days from 80s to 00s I've used stainless everywhere in the exhaust. No matter how long they are there crack them loose with a wrench and spin off by hand

Then I must have put the century one in my 40. I didn't part out any other years or I bought a 120 from someone.

Would a 40 century have a 120 speedo? I have one in my 40 special but I had parted 3 specials and 1 century
