    I agree, the windshield IS a little bogus...and I hate V-butted ones also, but I think "ruined" was a little harsh. Despite the windshield, I'm sure the guy is proud of his ride. I see it 5% fuck up...95% descent looking '40. JMO.

    To the guys that think my 41 is ruined. Good for you. My friend built it in the 80's. He chopped the top himself and when he did it V-butted windshields were popular. I plan to do something about that but it's not on the top of the list. The ol' truck has been beating around for 30 odd years and yeah it needs some work. But it is a "hot rod" truck. Please show me yours. Personally if I don't like what I'm looking at I move on and not bag on it. But maybe that's just me.

    I see lots to like on that chopped '40. Great attitude. Neat little chin nerf too.

    Hey UNCLECHET . I like the 2nd pic and the windshield looks fine...must have been the angle in the 1st pic that made it look a little odd.

    SO, I retract my previous statement...and will call it 1% fucked up (V-butted windshield) and 99% cool ass '40 pickup.:D

  24. That series continued half way into 55, lots of times you see the 55-59 listed as 55.2-59 or 55.5-59
