I'm sure someone will come along that can definitely say for sure. Judging from the inside of the drivers door I think it may be a '41....just my opinion. This style truck is known as Art Deco style. '47 was the Advance Design better known as the AD style.
Hang tight. Someone will be along shortly for sure. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,554 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,554 | Parking lights are gone, so can't tell there, look at the rear window, if it's held in with a pot metal casting it's 41, if held in with a rubber moulding it's 42 or newer.

Someone may come along and prove me wrong but that's the way it looks to me.

Look at the passenger door for the lock, should be in the Handle
if it is in the door it is at very least a 42-46 door.
Rear window trim ring inside 13 Screws
Bed has only 2 stake pokets so it's a 1/2 ton.

These should help with the capicity and year. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,974 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,974 | That'll buff out real good.  It's got potential. I suggest you get the title straightened out first. Is there any significance to 1 wiper above the w/s rather than in the cowl? I don't know very much about Art Deco trucks.

My 46 had 2, not sure if that's common or not. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 507 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 507 | They put the wiper above the window to allow the windshield to swing out at the bottom.
