Were they building 13 cabs in 1941?

According to my source , yes , Ford began making Cab 13’ concurently with cab 12 ´s on the same production line in Windsor .I will ask him for a picture . 1942 is known as the beginning of cab 13’s but that might well be a misconception .

The design branch records show a prototype/pilot 13 cab in December of 1941, so it might be possible to see a December truck.
