The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk 40 to 46 J C series

does this include 1940 suburban the J C series?
What year are body parts doors - fenders ect the same as 40 sub? Is it like 37 to 44 as the later 47 to 54 a lot of stuff is the same? thanks Bill

A JC would be a '39 1/2-ton. Shares some parts with a 1940 (KC) and a few even fit from '39-'46.

Barry would a 39 panel be a J.C series I am looking at a rear fender for my sub and the one I am looking at is to narrow for a pickup , but the guy thinks it is a J C series fender?
Would a 39 sub or panel rear fender be the same as a 40 sub? thanks Bill

Yep Bill, a '39 1/2-ton anything would be a JC. The J stands for 1939 and the C is a 1/2-ton. Includes pickups, panels, Subs, Canopy Expresses and anything else rated at a 1/2-ton. The rear fenders would be the same from '39-'46. Make sure the fender is for a 1/2 or 3/4 ton for sure and not the larger 1 or 1-1/2 ton panel with 20" tires.

By the way, pickup fenders bolt flat to the box sides and panel fenders bolt up into the fender opening on the body like a car fender does. Hard to confuse them if you remember that.

I thought the 39 raer fenders were narrower than the 40 to 46, because the bed is a different width

'39 pickup rear fenders are about 1-3/8" wider than '40-'46 pickup rear fenders due to the difference in box width. Bill is looking at a fender for his '40 Suburban, which uses a different fender than the pickup. The Sub./panel/canopy express rear fenders are the same from 1939-46. What you have to watch out for is there are many NOS panel truck rear fenders floating around from 1937-46 BIG panel trucks with 20" tires. These are pretty common (the military maybe stocked a ton of them?), but do not fit the 1/2 and 3/4 ton panel trucks. The bigger panel fenders are longer and have a larger wheel opening. I bought a couple big panel truck fenders before I learned.
