Ford P/U - Project

[James Y]

Fitted the new inner fender but now have a decision to make do I attach the flat bar to the new inner fender or do I leave it clean?

[James Y]

I am hoping Ian McCallum can help me out here, I am wondering what the overhang of the box is from the end of the frame to the end of the box, mine is working out to be approx 9" but I think that is too long. Ian if you could confirm that would be great.

Thx Jim

I am not sure which dimension you need . I had a look at the Morris PU and the frame to the outside end of the box ( the lid ) is 14" . The frame lines up with the inner panel or " fender" as you described.

Bit unsure what measurement it is you are referring too.

For Frame do I take it you mean chassis and do you mean the overhang of the rear of the body from this point?

Ian

I think he is after this dimension ( in red ) ?

End of chassis to overhang exactly as your picture Ian

Ron, Ian,

Thanks for your replies regarding the canvas. Indeed, it does sound that both Worthing and Jim Clark have stopped making British canvas items, even though Worthing do still advertise Canadian 15cwt canvas on their website. I seem to remember reading on HMVF that the person doing the British canvas for Jim Clark has retired a few years ago (?)

But, you are right....it's probably best to find a local supplier that can make a canvas specific for my 8cwt when the time comes.
Ian, Is that the Humber 8cwt that was also in Normandy 2014 for the Port-en-Bessin tour? I remember seeing your Ford Staff car and the Humber 8cwt on the assembly area just outisde town.


@Mike. Is your website still around somewhere? I remember you had some good period PU pictures, including the one you posted earlier of the tilt as a stand-alone item.

Hi James,

The measurement from the end of the chassis rail to the outer edge of the tailgate is 5 inches. Also have detail of the chassis/body end support which is not quite like the one shown in diagram. Have more detail and photos which I will PM you plus can obviously get some detail on the rear wings ( fenders).
