Default Re: My’40 PU is a ‘42 w a ‘40 front clip.

Agreed J, always thought Chrome pretty obviously ‘41. Truck has a reconstruction Title as a ‘40 but as indicated while I think it’s a pretty one, is still a Frankenstein . My point was from when I bought it I was able to tell it was a ‘42-‘47 Chassis but as a result of the non stock Mopar Stuff & odd steering arrangement the Frame #’s where impossible to see until now that I’ve been cleaning & rearranging stuff I was able to see the prefix #’s for a ‘42 chassis. That combined w the bed size & spare on drivers side, I am convinced it started as a ‘42 truck & builder put the ‘40 or ‘41 or combo front clip on it & was able in Ky. where built to get reconstruction title & said it was a ‘40 on that. Started thread to question whether it’s be worth getting a ‘42 front clip to make it correct for chassis. But consensus as it’s a reconstruction Title anyway, Probly not!
