While my cutoff year is 1940, I would use that Plymouth pickup, because that style
was introduced in 1939 and remained unchanged through 1941. (no Plymouth pickups were built in 1942) A 1939 model might not be such a big stretch for 1943, presuming someone rode the Smoky Mtn. RR from Sevierville into Knoxville to shop for a used truck. The Ford pickup by Eligor is a 1932 Model B (four cylinder, or just called the V-8, if so equipped). Model T's were last built in 1927, and replaced by the long overdue Model A, built 1928-31, to be replaced. in turn, by the Model B in 1932. East Tennessee, a sense of which one can gather by visiting Cade's Cove and another part of the Smokies immediately north of Gatlinburg, and the Museum of Appalalachia just north of Knoxville, was very similar to eastern Kentucky, in culture and economy, during that time period (as well as to those of southern W. Va., western Va. and western N. Carolina)
