1940 ford P/U

In 1940 was a 1/2 ton p/u an F-1 or F-100 . It appears that F-1 was used beyond 1940 .
Putting a ID plate on truck and want it correct.
Thanks

gordy

the F-1 was from 1948 to 1952.. then it went to F-100.
Off the top of my head, I'm not certain what the model # designation would be for 1947 and prior trucks.. but it's the internet.
Let's go looking! 8-)

Try this, Model 50? https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Djjh2MNV5...up%2Btruck.jpg

I saw the Model 50 designation too, but Hagerty shows it as a Model 01-C - https://www.hagerty.com/valuation-to...ford-model_01c
But then Greg Wapling's Car Spotter's Guide says it could be a Model 01-C, 02-C or 09-C depending on the original engine horsepower (85, 60 or 95 respectively) - 1940 Ford Truck and Commercial Identification, Model 01, 02, 09, 011, 014, 018, 022, 091, 094, 098 - Ford Spotters Guide
I'd say decide on your story for the original engine, then pick the Model that fits your story. I expect Hagerty uses the Model 01-C because the 85HP version was most common, but I don't know that for fact.

Thanks for the inputs guys !!!
