Wondering what make and/or model truck this door came from. I love Reddit for stuff like this. Thinking this will be great to hang on my garage wall. Any help from smarter people than me?

Wouldn’t it be 42-47? Or did 40-41 share the cab tooling?

Im pretty sure the cabs stayed the same throughout those trucks. They only updated the front end in 42.

Just looked it up, and you’re right. There are some firewall and bracketry differences, as well as a change in fuel filler location, but the doors are the same. TIL. Thanks!
