Looks great! Thanks for getting this one out there.
A couple of details I see:
There should be a bracket on the bed for the fording exhaust. It looks like another stake pocket. The newer trucks had one in the same spot but it was much shorter.
I might be wrong, but my impression was that the early trucks had round mirrors. They did change to the rectangular ones, and I am sure many early trucks got retrofitted. Also, only the Canadian ones had passenger side mirrors, except for guys who fitted them because they wanted them.
Early rucks also had clear front marker lenses, not amber.
You should see the exhaust pipe poking out behind the running board.
You would also see the bottoms of the vacuum wiper motors through the windshield glass.
There is a bracket at the top passenger side of the windshield to hold the hood in the wide open position.
The edge of the bed mounted spare tire should be visible.
The rear bed reflector is red, not amber.
Troop seats / sideboards?
I hope these suggestions are not seen as being picky, your work is so wonderfully detailed, it is amazing!
I will send you an email with the details I would like for my print!
Thanks again,
Tim
