Is there a reason for this? Was there a low production that year? It also occurred to me that I rarely if ever see them at show or on ebay...ect. (cars or trucks for that matter) I honestly think I've seen more '42's and 45's then I've ever seen 38's why is this? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 170 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 170 | Part of the reason would be that 1938 was a recession year. Car sales boomed in 1937, then sales for all makes of cars (and I'm assuming trucks) dropped in 1938. | | | | | Joined: May 2013 Posts: 173 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2013 Posts: 173 | Makes perfect sense. I'm thinking about restoring a '38 or building another '40 for a work truck with left over parts I have from a 1940 1 ton restoration. Was the engine/transmission/drivetrain similar to that of a 39-46? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 583 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 583 | I believe 1937-1939 216 engines were the same.
