VCCA Home Forums GENERAL DISCUSSION General Discussions 1941 Chevy Master Deluxe Sedan Parts

Hello everyone,

Looking to buy parts for our recent purchase to get it road safe, this vehicle is all original except for the paint. We live in South Florida & shipping costs from Chev's of the 40's can get pricey. Here is our wishlist for the moment:

-stainless steel fuel tank
-stainless steel fuel lines
-pertronix dist cap
-front end rebuild kit
-6v to 12v conversion kit
-turning signals
-seat belts
-all other upgrades recommended

We appreciate all of your input, if you can let us know what other companies that sell 41 chevy parts hopefully closer to Florida. We are aware of the Filling Station, Chev's of the 40's & that's pretty much it. Thank you!

I know shipping costs are high but they're high no matter the vendor. The best way to minimize shipping cost is to place an order for as many items as you can get so you pay one shipping instead of several. I'm torn whether to leave this here or move it to the Parts Wanted forum. If you're asking for specific parts please put your requests in that forum. The people selling spend more time there than here. If you're asking about vendors in general you can post in the Vendors and Suppliers forum. Good luck with your project.

I had to replace the gas tank in my 41 Master deluxe. I ordered mine from Chevs of the 40s. At the time I ordered mine they did not stock them, they had the manufacture ship them out from the factory to you. Unfortunately there is no winning on shipping large bulky items.

For line my local NAPA makes most anything you could need as long as you have an original to match it to. If you do not it is not difficult to bend tubing as needed from straight stock. There my be a place like this near you.

I had thought about going with the Pertronixs ignition but was convinced otherwise by this forum. Also the fact that NAPA had all the parts to my current 6v system in stock for a real low cost. We have driven the car to car meats and to church weekly when the weather is good and never had an ignition issue other than a coil go bad.

For the 6v to 12v conversion what is your reason? If you are keeping the stock engine and not adding a bunch of electronical item the 6v should be more than enough. #1 thing I had to correct was grounds. #2 was the battery cable size. Use welding wires for the battery and not the connections kits they sell in the store, the wires are just to small in the modern kits. I had to rewire my car due to the isolation being damaged by rodents and chose to keep the the 6v system. All the wires had to be a larger gauge to handle the amps but all of the old accessories work properly without adapters etc.

The turn signals are a good investment. I found my kit on eBay. Any kit will work. To make mine work with 6v I had to change the blinker and the bulb that was in the end of the stalk for it. Once again my local NAPA had these parts.

I ordered my seatbelts from: SeatBeltsPlus.com. They charged a flat rate shipping that was fairly low.

To save money on shipping from Chevs of the 40s and The Filling Station while we were working on our car we kept a list of items we needed. We were placing large orders for the next several things we planned to do on the car at once. Not the most convenient but it saved on shipping.

Thank you for your reply Tiny!
