'40 and '41 Pickup What are the differences between a '40 and '41 1/2 ton pickup's?

Re: '40 and '41 Pickup The Early Ford V-8 Club has a 40-41 Pickup book that should answer your questions.
1940-1941 Ford Pickup Book --- $10 plus shipping and handling. https://shop.efv8.org/collections/ford-books |
Re: '40 and '41 Pickup The '41 has the wide "waterfall" hood emblem, along with two wide trim pieces on either side.
The '41 uses the Ford plate emblem on the rear of the hood near the cowl, and also on the dashboard (which is flat between the instrument cluster and glove box). The '40 has the narrow hood emblem like the standard passenger car, and thin pieces of trim on either side. The '40 uses the Ford script at the rear of the hood near the cowl, and also in the middle between the instrument cluster and glove box, which is recessed on the '40. There are also differences on the hood latching mechanisms, and also on the front cross member depending on engine originally, the 4cyl used a deeper cross member then the V8. The door glass is just glass on I believe the '40, where on the '41 it is framed in metal (I could have that backwards). I believe that's it, if I've missed anything please post. |
Re: '40 and '41 Pickup Isn't the '40 tailgate embossed with "V8", while the '41 says "Ford" because of the availability of the 4 and 6 cylinder engines?

Re: '40 and '41 Pickup On the 40 door, the plate which gives access to the window mechanism is held on by 5 screws and the 41 and later covers are held by 8 screws. My grandfather had several 41 big trucks and none of them had the steel frames but my 47, (also my grandfathers) has the metal frames around the windows. So, I think the frames came sometime after 41. Caveat: I can't guarantee though, that the pickups and big trucks were the same.

Re: '40 and '41 Pickup As mentioned, get the 40-41 Ford pickup book that is sold by the Early Ford V-8 Club of America. Best $10 you can spend and it will answer almost all of you questions. Especially handy if you are looking to buy one of these pickups.

Re: '40 and '41 Pickup Thank you, I will get the book.

Re: '40 and '41 Pickup My 40 has metal frame windows.

Hubcaps said FORD rather than V-8, likewise the tailgate and hood nose trim. That 40-41 Two Great Trucks by Howard Towne is a great reference. |

Re: '40 and '41 Pickup Buy the book. There’s some misinformation here. The book has some very interesting information, and the author really delved into the 1941 model.

Re: '40 and '41 Pickup That is true.....my 41 was originally a 6 and the radiator mount was further ahead than a 8 to accommodate the longer engine.
