Thanks to the Stovebolt site and the helpful folks here, I found out that its a MS model 1942. Either way I love the truck. Runs great, shifts good, brakes (front) kinda squeaky (rear) great. I went through all the electrical and got everything working, even the horn, beep beep. I shortened and narrowed the bed then redesigned the stake railing. Had a great guy (retired Hot Rod painter) come out from Arizona to Calif. to hand apply my door logos then he ages them to perfection to match the existing patina. Way to many things that Ive done to list but she is a eye catcher. Here is a before photo as well as some after photos....enjoy Again thanks to Stovebolt and the knowledgeable folks here.
