1941 pickup with '40 deluxe dash

[RobV]

Hi, there. Picked up a new to me truck that had been sitting hidden in a back yard since the early '60s. The truck has a column shift and a 1940 Deluxe dash in it. I am assuming these are later mods, but some people have been telling me the column shift may be stock. Where there ever any '41 1/2 tons made with an earlier dash and column shift?

Any help is welcome. I am more familiar with the 20-30's mopar world.

Thank you!
