It was not at all uncommon for owners to rework their VOs with various improvements after delivery. Thus, you may see a Phase IIa with the larger expansion tank, blanked side intakes, four stacks, and the narrow louver panel near the cab. Phases: Ia1: early side-radiator design, large oval grill, hood louvers in groups of three, bottom of hood doors end approximately 12 inches above the walkway (12/39). Ia2: the hood doors extend down to the walkway (1/40-3/40). Ib: smaller oval grill, countersunk headlight, hood louvers in pairs (5/40-10/40). IIa: front radiator design, cab shortened by 1 foot (4/41-11/41). IIb: side intake grills eliminated (11/41-5/42). IIc: cab sides lowered by six inches (6-11/42). Southern DS-2005 (10/41) was apparently the prototype for this. III: curved trim on battery boxes and side sills eliminated, larger radiator expansion tank producing "shoulders" by the headlight, tall pair of louvers on both sides of the hood, narrow louver panel near the cab, and side numberboards moved below the louvers (12/44-5/46).
