Well yes, kinda, sorta.
The 1939 Deluxe / 1940 standard share the same basic stampings. However there are cutouts on the 1939 hood for the front ornaments. The early 1939 uses a different latching system than the late 1939 / 1940 standard, so the inner brace might have to be changed. |

The shape were the hood meets the grill is supposed to be different so a 39 hood doesn't match up right with a 40 std grill and vise versa (so i am told) but i got a really rough 39 deluxe grill i wanted to try and work on a 40 pickup.
