Interestingly, according to Ford specs the model 19Y is a 1941 model-year 1-Ton Truck with 8-cyl 100hp engine and a 122" wb. chassis.

A picture of the same type as pictured in S.N.L. G-1 is listed in the ½-Ton section in Crismon's book, and it is a 4x2, not 4x4.

Bill's picture shows a 1942 model 1½-Ton 4×2 chassis, so clearly there was some evolution in Ford's 4x2 Bomb Truck.

Also did they switch to the 4x4 GTB version later on, or were the 4x2 and 4x4 versions produced concurrently?
