Cars have stainless trim strips down the sides, pickups do not. Trucks have a raised bead or feature bead instead. Take a good look at any pictures on the net, you will see what I am explaining. Furthermore, trucks are about a half inch taller in the nose (and cowl area) explaining why the nose ornament is truck only, not car. The 40 STD (car) hood stamping is basically a carryover from 1939 DLX car production. Therefore, Ford stamped only two new hoods in 40, one for cars (the Deluxe) and one for half tons. For your truck you need a 40 or 41 half ton hood. The 41 has more and larger trim holes (for the wider deco trim) but can be retro-ed to 40 trim. Nothing else will bolt up with out cutting and welding (unless you are building a custom such as car nose on truck). Hope this helps. RPM
