Hi,

Can anyone post a couple pictures (or send me a personal email with pictures attached to [email protected]) of an unmolested 1938 truck firewall? The PO of my panel truck tampered with the firewall a bit, drilling a few extra holes and making some other cuts, etc. I would like to bring the firewall back to original, so a couple pictures would be extremely helpful.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Jim - if nobody has pictures, you might find enough clues in the manuals available, they have pictures under the hood that might show enough

You'll have unused holes in the firewall anyway. I have a '38 coupe & believe the truck and car firewalls were similar if not identical. It might be easier if you post pics of the areas that concern you. I or someone else can then take a pic of that area and send it to you. I have a few pics that show parts of the firewall but I haven't taken pics with showing that area specifically.

I did find this one that may be of assistance.

Thanks; I'll check the manuals--I have them but I don't recall seeing a truck firewall.

Tiny, I have an original 38 coupe as well, but I am not certain that the car and the truck firewall are the same. In addition, I have a 37 1/2 ton but it looks to me like a few changes had been made on it before I got it.

Thanks again,

Jim

Wayne,

Thanks for that link--there are several good views of the firewall.

I appreciate it very much.

Jim
