Regarding the window bugs - all five windows on the 1940 tonner are dated 1939. I have a warranty repair ticket from the Ford dealer showing a 500 mile warranty service done on the tonner that is dated October 16, 1940 which suggests that the truck was delivered late Summer or early Fall of 40. This further supports the observation that the use of the bugs to determine the vehicle manufacturing date isn’t useful.
