I believe the bodies made a big enough change between those years that they won`t swap.I hope to learn a lot more about these early GMs.I`m no expert,just always loved`em.Definitely want one.I may be wrong,but I believe the 38-40 cab is about the same as the 41-47?They have the same contours or very similar.Rounded more than prior.For all I know GM made two designs like they seem to do in a lot of years of changed body styles.The bed fenders were swapped from earlier.I guess you guys knew that.
