Man i've met an awful lot of people in the last few years that talk like they know every thing there is to know about these trucks, and have you convinced that what they say is absolute gospel.
I mean, why not? They're old. For some reason, it sounds a whole lot more creditable when it comes out of the mouth of an old person.. like why wouldn't you believe what this guy is saying? He sure looks old enough to have been around to have seen the it he's talking about first hand.
But most times, it turns out to be at the least, inaccurate.. and at most, pure 100% USDA Grade A bull.
And these people will argue till hell freezes over that you absolutely couldn't get a orange johnson rod as an option in 1941.. you can show 'em a factory booklet that shows it as an option and they'll still swear up and down you couldn't get one.
So i've learned the best way to get the real scoop on anything regarding these old trucks is to get it from either multiple sources, or ask Bill.. or a handfull of guys around here that seem to know their stuff.
