First Ford only produced 1942- 1947 1/2 ton pick up trucks only for the U.S. Government for armed forces use ...42-47 are all the same as far as orig. parts are concerned I have a 42 and have been body off restoring for the past 4 years and found out a lot of things...If you have more questions about the 47 e-mail me and maybe I can help you out ....morty0071@hotmail.com
