I have a couple of owners manuals, but they also leave a lot out. I have the parts books, but they tend to generalize, cutoff at serial numbers, but again don't truly give you an accurate picture of the first year & a half.

I imagine someone out there has an actual 1939 or 1940 parts book. Maybe they will chip in here.

My experience is that the books don't truly tell you the real situation. My brand spanking new 1974 Chevy pickup came with an electronic HEI ignition according to the shipping order and literature of the day, however, the item was deleted by the factory and a distributor installed instead. Cost me $99 to order the HEI unit, from Chevy, which I then had to put on myself, adding insult to injury.

In my experience, gray hair is the most valuable commodity there is when trying to put something like this all together, and very old pictures.

Or maybe I just like talking to old folks like myself. Most of the youngster's think I am nuts!
