And, above all, this panel also have the 1941+ cowl light of a 1941+ W-Series. It's obviously made on the 133" / 3.38 m wheelbase of a 1-ton panel: the only other available panel in this truck line was the ½-ton made on the 116" / 2,95 m wheelbase. Which means that it has a WD-21 Dodge code. → 1941 Dodge W-Series Panel [WD-21] -- Last edit: 2019-11-14 04:24:48
