Re: 40 Ford 1/2 ton
In 1940 the 1/2 ton trucks were called "commercial vehicles" and were essentially built on the same frame and made available with the same features as the cars including the new for 1940 "Finger Tip Gearshift on the Steering Column." This isn't to say that they were sold exclusively with column shifts since there is reference to the availability of the 3 and 4 speed floor shift transmissions in the truck section of the Salesman's Reference Manual.
