What style Hood numbers

[Baxter352]

I have a 1941 352 seriel number 41074,which has had an open cab put on later in its life.

What style hood numbers should I paint on?

The AR-850 will give you the stencil outlines. If you have an open cab then you could use any stencil listed in an AR-850 with a publication date during or after 43. I highly doubt that open cabs were in the supply system for refit in theater when they just started production (1942). Supply system and production schedules would simply not have then in theater that quick.

Thanks. I have found a copy of the AR-850,so will search through it.

The open cab was most probably put on during the 50's after the truck was transferred to the Belgian army.

Now I have the choice to obtain the correct cab and put back to original.

Stencils didn't really change much.. .the size went from 4in to 2in late war.

If you're not doing a factory restore then early/mid war period would be 4 in white, late war 2 in white. Post war... I really don't know. Also the W- would not have appeared after mid 42.
