Guest a440plus6 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I've got a feeling I'm gonna be lookin for pass side rear fender for my latest project which has not arrived yet so I'm putting some feelers out. See pics.http://s122.photobucket.com/albums/o277/a440plus6/1939%20Dodge%20Truck/ThanksJerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BillP Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 You sure that's a 39? Can't see real well but the headlights on a 39 (only) were up on the crown of the fender, not on the slope down to the grille. Maybe front fenders changed in the past or maybe I'm wrong altogether. What's the body number on the right door post? I have a 39 all restored but no fenders. If you need pictures say so. Good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest a440plus6 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 That's what I was told. I have added a few more pics for opinions.ThanksJerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Evans Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Your truck is either a 39 or 40. In 41 the headlights moved up on top of the fenders away from the grill. If you can't find a goos steel fender check out this ebay auction.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/39-40-41-...1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BillP Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 That truck, or least the front grille assembly, is a model year 1939. Note the downward sweeping section in the front. It has 8 upper grille bars and the area between upper and lower grille sections that was originally accentuated with a curving stainless insert. This changed for model year 1940 wherein the stainless sweep was made horizontal and the upper grille bar count reduced to four. The down-sweep was only made one year, 1939. Another small change was the conversion to sealed beam headlights for model year 1940, making the '39 trucks a distinctive one-year model. This truck appears to have been converted to sealed beams by a previous owner due to the unfinished appearance. Headlight buckets are not supposed to be chromium plated, but painted fender color which was black. 1939 lenses might be hard to find, as will the missing ram horn. The headlights for 1939 and 1940 were as they are shown in the truck in question. They moved to pockets on the crowns of the fenders for 1941 model year and remained there for the balance of the design life, just like you said.

Mike_Rhodes Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I have a 42, the headlights are on the crown of the fenders. BTW, I'm looking for hubcap clips, does your '39 have them? use them? I have hubcaps, but the wheels on my truck have no clips for the hubcaps... it is also possible that I have the wrong wheels, dunno.Anyway, have you clips?MikeR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BillP Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Sorry, no clips. Mine is a ton and a halfer with 20 inch wheels. Are car clips the same or are they exclusive to truck? Try Roberts parts in Massachusetts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
