The open cab thread will go down as one of the top five threads I've seen here. And yes, I think I recall the 3/4 tons had a one piece 16" wheel, even though they were on a similar 122" chassis. I also think a 3/4 ton jailbar was available in '42, but not after. Thanks for all the great pics merc (and expaver!)

How rare is this Non V8 Wide Five Ford Truck Hubcap?
I believe that it was fitted to 4 Cylinder Ford Light Duty Trucks.
Can anyone confirm the exact years they were used?
i have not seen any others like this.

Yup, looks like one of those 'unicorn' hubcaps.

These hubcaps were used on all 41 and 42 Ford 3/4 ton trucks. Ford used the "wide five" type wheels on the 3/4 tons from their introduction in 1939 through 1942. The V8 logo was switched to the Ford script when the 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder engines were introduced in 1941. I see these listed occasionally online, typically as a single hubcap from a wall hanger collection.
