Calling out all 1940 1941 Ford 1/2 tons

Nice looking trucks. There was a green color in 1940/41. Forest color. Anyone have the name? Also interested in the 4 cylinder question if anyone knows? KUBE???? I would love to find one with a 4 cylinder.

Are you thinking of Cloudmist Gray?

A lot of nice trucks. Personally, I like the ones with blackwalls the best.

Kube- hard to tell on the color. My truck in the door jams - mind you could be original or repaint - with no gloss over the years - looks "forest green" - my wife says "starbucks green" but flat and faded. HAHA

That's probably the Cloudmist Gray. I have had numerous '40 Fords that were sporting the original paint and it typically faded to what I describe as pea soup. Are we on the same track here?

Here's my heap. Gotta wait on the 32, though.

1941 pickups had the tailgate stamped with "Ford" only. Earlier PUs had "V 8" with the Ford. The reason that the V 8 was omitted was that now ford offered the V 8, a 6 cylinder and the 4 cylinder.

4 Cylinder was available in 41 pickups.
This is Mrmoose's 4 banger

This thread is total heartbreak for me!. I sold my 40 & 47 2 years ago. Worst mistake i ever did and cant let it down. But i still have my F1 and all is good. Best looking trucks by far!

I love the 40/41s and"jail bars" that some consider ugly. My first recollection of Jailbars was the local fire engine when I was a "sprog". All kids are impressionable and that fire appliance is indellibly etched in my memory.
