FYI: I see you ordered a truck reference book. The 1/2T pickups were not actually called trucks. The "trucks" are 3/4T or more. Ford called our little trucks "commercial cars" and they share most chassis parts with the cars and very few (if any) with the "trucks".

Good catch, Bill. It should be noted also, that Reference Books were compiled and printed by Marketing before Job 1 of the production model, and usually contain misinformation in both picture and text. At best, these contain simple operating instructions, as do today's Owner's Manuals.
