Some things to watch on 42's. Early 42 has a one piece headliner, was changed in June to a two piece. Early 42 uses the lock in the passanger side door handle, switched to the door late in 42. The gas filler gasket is rubber in early 42 and changed to leather later in the year. The rear window uses the metal ring in the early part and changed to a rubber ring with insert later in the year. The 3/4 ton tapers under the cab while the half ton tapers earlier. Early 42 uses 6 bolt rims. The pickups had 15 or 16 inch rims and 11" drums, the heavy 3/4 used 14" drums and 16 or 17" rims. Most of this I found out the hard way when ordering parts. According to Chevrolet, they used whatever parts were on hand during the war. The other thing to remember is war years trucks had no chrome, turret grey paint on what was bright work on other years.
