1940 & 1941 Trucks came in 4 "sizes" look at the wheels.

Small pickup looked like a standard car, 112" wheel base 16" 5 on 5 1/2" wheel hub caps same as cars.

3/4 ton looked like the ones in these pictures, 122" W.B. 16" wide 5 wheels & hub caps.

Tonner has same look, 122" W.B. 17" split rims and hub caps specific to them.

1 1/2 ton same look Various W.B. 20" split rims, no hubcaps, dual rear wheels.

The big difference in all of these is size of the brakes to match weight rating.
