I believe that a lot of people think that the 1940 and 1941 Ford Trucks are identical?
This style was only used for two years, 1940 and 1941. The 1941 model got slight Trim changes, as well as an optional 6 Cylinder engine. Because of this added engine, the V8 Pressings on the Hood was removed on the 1941 model.
The 1941 model also got a wider band of Trim down the centre of the Hood, extending down the front of the Grille.
The above pictures are from the Covers of the Australian Sales Brochures.
I have added them so that you can see the slight changes between the two years.
Now, the next time you see one of these Ford Trucks, you will be able to correctly identify what year it is.
