Sorry flap-bergasted.
Sorry Jacek
I was referring to the 2B1 steel box....... I do not have rouned fenders like yours mine are squared but I do have a mudguard underneath that is part steel part rubber. I see from you drawing that the very bottom of your fender does have a mud flap...... In the wooden box it would make sense that they would have re-inforcements at that location...... but is it original or added later??? only someone with a similar wooden box would be able to compare.

I looked through all my pictures and can't find any sign of reinforcement there. I'd say they were added on later.

There is no chance to see it on photos as they were welded inside the mudguard. Reinforcements in these parts is smart idea only welding should be done all around not just on the ends. Also these reinforcements are too well done for later addition, shaped to mudguard shape , all four have holes exactly in same place. French mechanics are good but why whould they bother?

Part number on towing ring. I've sandblasted next rim, it turned out to be Canadian. Kelsey dated 1943.

Bad news....
You will have to scrap or throw away those rims...... you can not have 1943 rims on a 1940 truck......
By the way, as anybody ever seen a KH rim stamped 1940 or even 1939...? I have seen 42, 43, 44 and 1945...... what about the early ones..? was GM making their own??? Just kidding Jacek...... if you hold a half of the rim and hit it with a hammer and it rings like a bell.... it is good and not cracked. Good news is I found some "Thumb screws" at Lowe's in Canada ...... at about 0.99 cents each..... which is better than having to buy a minimum of 100 at Spaenaur. Bob C
