This Truck Window Motor Job Got Complicated

We're back on the restored 1940 pickup truck! Sometimes the “new and improved” replacement part creates more work than the original. Blair installs a new window motor in Hugh’s beautifully restored 1940 Ford pickup, but quickly discovers it won’t coexist with the door lock mechanism. With fresh paint already on the truck, cutting or modifying the door isn’t an option, so a different solution has to be found. As the challenges pile up, patience starts wearing thin, but giving up isn’t part of the plan. Through careful measuring, problem-solving, and a few new ideas, Blair finds a way to make everything work while protecting the finished paint. If you enjoy real-world restoration, fabrication, and honest shop problem-solving, you’re in the right place. --The Bodysmith #classiccars #classiccarrestoration #classictrucks #pickuptruck #1940 #fueltank #windowrepair #blairsmith #thebodysmith #shoplife #fitment
