Can someone please identify what year this pickup is? Thank you. #ad

 

late thirties or forties. kinds hard to tell from just a rear pic, a front shot would really tell.

 

I thought that might be the case. I wasn't able to get ahead of it to get a picture of the front. Thanks though.

 

Thanks. Hopefully I'll see it again one day in traffic.

 

I did post here this morning, said it was 1940, not sure where my post went..

 

Thank you. You probably answered in the other forum. I also posted in 1938-1947 as I was unsure of what era the truck was from. What is the “tell” from the rear that helps identify the year? I know that it’s much easier to tell from the front.

 

It could actually be a 40 or 41 because of the shape of the front fenders, only 2 years like that..

 

Appears to be 1938/41. 1938/39 has an oval grille, 1940/41 pickup grille resembles 1939 Ford deluxe passenger car grille.

 

pickup bed is newer, or made.

Here's a 39, I still believe the truck in question is a 40-41

 

See next post...

 

Bumper is from a late 1930's DeSoto, tail lamps are 1940 Ford car (with added 'blue dot'), wheels appear to be 1933/34 Ford car.

 

All I'm saying is the front fenders on the original picture i question to me look 40-41 and the last picture I posted is a 39 and front fenders are different. the rest of the truck was built to the persons taste to make it's own..not here to argue..

 

Not here to argue (do enough of that on t'other site). Just commenting on what some of the parts are from.

For example, at one time 1939 DeSoto bumpers were a very popular swap.

Today, there are very few people around (extant) that could recognize a '39 DeSoto, much less its bumpers.
