Has the truck been repainted? War prod. Trucks were sold as "no shiny parts" but that simply meant that the grill started as bare metal and the stainless trim was installed prior to painting of hood and windshield frame. Other things that tell war prod. Was unground welds on bottom of a-pillar without lead (too busy throwing it at the Germans) and leather gas tank filler neck seal. If you get a sn be aware that the year code didn't change during the war. It used 42 code with an extended "month" of production. 42 would be months 1 to12. 43 would be 13 to 24. 44 is 25 to 36. And so on
