Each interior door panel in my 1939 Chevy truck has a hole in the center of the door, maybe 3/4 inches in diameter. Can someone tell me what is supposed to go there? Thanks,

I was hoping that this was a forum that I could ask a question and not be treated like an idiot. I had a serious question - I'm new to vehicle restoration and thought this was a place I could get some help. Guess I'll look somewhere else.

Dude, no disrespect intended. You haven't gotten any responses in quite a while and sometimes seeing several replies will pull people into the thread. Seems odd though that no one has jumped in. Sounds like a simple question to me.

Here's a suggestion:

Go to General Truck Talk (most frequented sub-forum) and post with the Subject "Anyone here have a '39 Chevy truck?" Then in the body of the post just say you're having a hard time finding out what goes in that hole.

Chances are very good that you'll get your answer there.

The problem with your question is that it technically could go in no less than three sub-forums - Interiors, Pant and Body, and Doors, none of which get anywhere near the amount of traffic as the General Truck Talk sub-forum.

Good luck.

I think Czech was just having some fun. This site is very helpful and the people here are great. when the rain stops I will go out and uncover my cab and see if i can find out for you.

alittle ball busting is a good thing...

Guess I should relax a little smile. There's alot I don't know and can't seem to figure out. The 1939 shop manual I ordered hasn't come in yet, so that might answer some questions.

Thanks -

OH boy, this is embarrassing.....Now that I sandblasted the rust from inside the doors, I can see that the cross member has a corresponding hole for the interior door panel to screw into. I hope the rest of my problems are this easily solved!

3/4 of an inch seams big for the center door panel. Mine has a small about an 1/8 screw hole that holds the panel in at the center. I can send a photo is you need one.
