  • 1941 to 43 carryall hood/grill/fender swap possible?

    Trying to figure out how different the front end parts are among these carryalls. I like the profile of the 43's which seem to have a flatter hood, different radiator cover, and grill. As well as different front fenders. Are these easy to swap onto a 41 1/2 wc10? Or are they too different? This may change my mind about buying the 41 I am looking at. Thank you for any input. I couldn't find any side by side comparisons or anything online.

    The hood will fit better using a 41 body with 43 front clip than going the other way. Where it rests is sloped on the 41 where the 43 will be straight. The brackets where the rods fasten to the cab are on slightly different angles and they will be binding some if you don't bend them. You'd be dealing with fender bracket differences too as I can't believe that is going to be a bolt on deal. It'll be a good bit of work as hood alignments can drive you nuts sometimes. These are just some of the things I know of and I'm sure there are more.
