The top box art is the miss labeled art work. Other than that they are the same if they say 39/40 .

I myself like a picture of the built Model .

Nice Truck !

Nice corn binder.

Great Truck . Good for you for letting your daughter pick the color .It might get her to join you one day on the bench.

Good looking truck . I like the super six !

When I read the title "farm use" I was expecting a beater . Great Truck. I like the Ford In a Ford . Just wondering why Greg has not posted on this one. LOL

Other for all of the above , All great kit's with good options.

Congrats on the mountain of lot !! Wow is right on the money . It is good to see they are behind the contest not just a photo op for the company .

It will be two to three years at the earliest .

Angelo Valenti is not just an Oldsmobile fan Casey he built protype G Body cars for Oldsmobile . Does this mean this is true good question , but if you wanted to measure a correct G body cutlass he would have one.

Well we may be in for a new G body Olds after all folks !!!!!! A little Bird told me Revell is going to measure a guys car soon !!!!

Nice !

The front fenders ,dash and the back window is bigger in the 51/52 truck.

We will see this page go crazy now !!!!!

Nice !

Bill you are right on the mark. As far as older kits go , what do we do ?

Thank you Tom for the photo's . They are better than anything I could type . One day i will figure the uploading of photo's on here. Those are some nice Photo's of the stock truck.

The kit grill is not a 40 grill from all the picture I have found of a 1940 Willy's . It is a grill that race car drivers used ,It has no center bar . The wings as you call them should not be peaked as they are in the kit. They should be more like the Revell coupe kit. They had a flat head four just like the jeep's from the war. That should be close enough . Just call your truck a 1941 and use the kit grill. Put the Wipers on the bottom.

40 Willy's have a two piece grill with a bar in the center being body color. The wipers are on the top of the windshield. 41 Willy's have a one piece grill and the wipers are on the bottom of the windshield . I just looked for 40 Willy's on the web. Hard to find a stock one to look at.

I was at a show in Detroit a few years ago and two guys were standing by their 37-39 Willy's Pickup . To get to the point they said that the two front fender's were from two different plants on the truck (I do not know how they new this for sure ) . They said the head lights did not match from one side to the other , Welded in two different positions. Just found a picture of a stock 41 and the grill is one piece . The top of the fenders are just like the Revell fenders ( rounded not peaked ). As far as the wipers go the hood is up in the picture .But I did not see a wiper up at the top right corner .

Casey thank you for posting the Link ! It was a good listen.

If it is tall enough ,the tin could used to transport models to the next show. Just add a little padding.

Great job .
