The truck is a 1940 model. While the 1941 Ford Trucks look similar, there are slight differences. For example, the picture of your truck shows a V8 pressed in to the sides of the Hood. This pressing was only on the 1940 models. That is because in 1941, Ford offered a Six Cylinder Engine as an option, so, rather than having to supply two different Hoods, Ford merely offered a plain side Hood without the V8 pressings. Also, the 1941 Ford Trucks got an added approximately 4 inch wide Chrome Trim on the Hood extending down the centre of the Grille. So, what you have is a 1940 model.
