i have photos of  the 37/38 d model box which is different than the 39/40 d box.

reason being is they changed the box style is 39 and they carried the box from the 39 d series clear over into the k/kb series which ran up to 1949.

 i also have photos of the c model box which is different than the 37/38 d box although there similar to one another.

 with the major differance i can see being the stake pockets.

 i will post photos later this after noon as i have to leave as week speak for a doctor apt with my pulmonologist.

first i am asking a question here.

 which is is the tailgate on this green and black 39/40 d series truck d15h posted the factory correct tailgate for a 1939/1940 d series?

reason i am asking is i was under the understanding that the 39/40 d model had the same tailgate that was used on the k/kb 1 thru 3 with the ihc ribbed side box that was also used on the 39/40 d series.

so i am just trying to get thing straight to what is right and what is not.

next as for the c verses d tailgate of what i have personally seen is that the 37/38 d model tailgate has the triple diamond emblem with the word international stamped into the tailgate.

 the 37/38 d model tailgate has 3 lower hinges that function individually of one anther.

so does the c model model yet how ever the hinges on the c operate with a lower rod that connects all three hinges together so they act as one.

 also the center hinge on the c series runs the full length top to bottom of the tailgate as were on the 37/38 d model the hinge is only attached to the lower tube of the tailgate.

 next you can see the c 37/38 and 39/40 tailgate's and compare them based on the photos d15h has already posted

with this all said i have attached 3 photos 2 are of c model beds and the 3rd is of a 37/38 bed.

 reason for the photos is to show the beds are different

the difference in the 37/38 and the c series bed are the stakes pockets.

as the 37/38 d series has tear dropped style stake pockets as were the c bed has straight pockets.

 you can see the difference buy comparing the photos as well as the 37/38 d model which is the creme and green truck i posted and the stake pocket is circled in read so you can see the difference.

c bed image 2.

although the bed on this truck is a c model bed the truck its self is a chey 1942 to 47 and more commonly know as a wuurlitzer jute box truck as the grill resembles a 40s wurlitzer jute box.

 this last truck is a 37/38 d series

lastly hope this helps out.
