It seems that a lot of people don't know the differences between the 1940 and 1941 Ford Trucks. At a quick glance, they look very similar, however, there are differences so that it is easy to tell if it is a 1940 or 1941 model.
These photos are of my friends 1940 Ford Truck. If you look at the side of the Hood, you will see a V8 pressing that has been painted to high-light the fact. This pressing was only on 1940 Ford Trucks, as in 1941, Buyers got a choice between the all-new Six Cylinder Flathead, as well as the tried and proven V8 Flathead. The Centre Strip on the Hood is also narrow on these 1940 Ford Trucks. In my next Post, I will show the 1941 Ford Truck for easy comparison.
