I do have two pictures from under the hood where, if I'm not mistaken, you can (just barely) see the vents from the outside.
Hi Marty, yes, those are the vents indeed....and the pictures also show the Cab 12 brace behind the radiator. The vents came somewhere in the second half of 1940 during cab 11 production and were fitted to all cab 12's. My first assumption was that this truck was an early cab 11 (as it has a lot of early features) to which someone had fitted a 12cab nose and vents, but it seems I might be wrong here and it could well be a very early (nov/dec 1940?) cab12, with a mix of cab 11/12 features caused by the switch from one cab to the other and the parts on the production line being used up.
