1 of my 1940 dodge I a m keeping all original. But my other 1940 dodge I dont care if I keep original steering I am actually looking for aftermarket tilt steering for my hot rod.

Can u explain wh as t kind of steering wheel this is. I dont mind a floor shifter in my hot rod.

Thank u I will check with those companies.

Sorry not number I meant bumper s

I have tryed to put pictures in but it keeps telling me they are to big. I have 2 1940 dodges 1 I am keeping all original and has similar brown to yours. The other one I am turning in to a hot rod. I am going to put 318 and transmission. I have found a motor and transmission mounts kit for 1940 dodge. I am putting disc brake conversion kit that bolts right on. I am going to put dodge dakota rearend with disc brakes. I am also going to buy conversion kit that bolts on for power brakes. I am going to put 12 volt everything. After market universal tilt steering. And I am looking for after market bucket seats for front and after market bench seat fo back. Skinny tires in front and fat tires in back. I am going to roll rear fenders. No number front and I am looking at trying to find a way to convert rear number closer to car or no rear number. And so far that what I want to do.

Thank u I will check with those companies.

Does anybody k ow of any tilt steering wheel and power steering box that will fit 1940 dodge D14 with little or no fabrication.

I want a 318 in mine I was told a dodge dakota rear end would work. So I am looking in to that option as they cost about 2 4 hundred over hear. I am looking for a 318 right now from eighties or nineties.

Did you have to cut any of the body to fit the 318 engi engine in and what rear end did you use and what did you have to change on the rear end or did it bolt right in

Mine turns fine but which way do u turn it when the engine is running.

Can you explain how to do that please. I was thinking of doing that my self just so it does not get stuck and cause problems.

My heat riser is free goes back and fourth but did not have a spring so I bought one. I cant figure out how it works. There is no picture in my shop manual or online. But from what I hear maybe it does not matter. Because I live in California. So maybe it is ok to just leave it free then.

Oh I have 1 1940 all original and 1 1940 I am making into a hot rod and looking for after market seats for the hot rod

Sorry I tryed to send pics but the forum system wont let me send pics from my phone. Mine does not have a stand like yours mine is in the hinge it self that is holding the trunk up.

I have 2 1940 dodge sedans one the trunk wont stay open without a stick. The other one I just got the trunk hinge holds the trunk open very nice. Does any body know where to get the trunk hinge for the trunk that's holds open the trunk.

I dont need to worry about most of that because I am taking everything out and putting 318 or 340 v8 and transmission and put 12volt

Where did you get the 12v wiring kit from.

I love those front and back seats what did they cone out of I am trying g to fi d so e after market seats for my 1940 dodge that I am turning into a hot rod

The other 1940 dodge I have I am changing to hot rod v8 with everything 12 volt

Thank you very much for all the info. I have 2 1940 dodge sedans 1 is all origenal. I put 12volt battery with solenoid so everything is 6 volt except to the starter is 12 bolt kept original starter and I am changing distributor to electric I stead of point.

Can a 1940 dodge be converted everything to 12 v keeping the flathead 6
