Hi,

My 1940 fuse panel on the firewall is... just sitting out in the open. It seems that there must have been a cover for them at one time. Can anyone share a picture of what a properly dressed set of fuses should look like for this era truck?

Thanks - Doug

Currently they look like this:

That is not original. The fuses on my 41 are on the light switch for the lights, the heater switches for the heater, and in a little inline fuse holder for the radio.

Hi, Doug, that is a standard marine fuse panel meant to be screwed to the back side of the dash in a boat. Note: your motor is not stock but the truck looks good and it is still a 6 cylinder. Send away for any cataloge that comes close to your truck, it will pay off on the long run.PS Have fun, Brian

Thanks Gentlemen,

I think I'll go the inline and on switch route as Kingisomer suggested is stock. I'm lucky enough to have a NAPA and Dan's Classic auto parts (http://www.dansclassic.com) all within a 5 minute bike ride from my office in Portland -- so I've been making almost daily trips as I figure things out.

What would we newbies do without the kindness of your experience? ;-)

cheers, Doug

My 41 has no fuse except for the headlamp switch. No heater is installed on my truck. But I have located one.

Be careful calling someone an(expert).Because an EX is a hasbeen and a SPURT is a drip under pressure.
