Does the 41-48 Ford Book include Pickups?

No. The club does have a book for the 40-41 pickups.

Although, it should be pointed out, that if you are restoring a 1/2 ton pickup, the 1941-1948 Ford Book would be of value to you for chassis and engine information. But there would be no information on the body or interior.

The chassis on the 42-47 Ford pickup is vastly different than the passenger car. One example is the 42-47 pickup has open driveline and parallel leaf springs in the rear. There are many other differences, but to keep it simple the 41-48 book will not be of much help except for information on the motor.

Thanks, I'm starting a 47 pickup restoration, so any good resources will be helpful. Any other suggestions?
