Pete:
I think I'll call it what my paperwork says, WB-40. I did just get off
vintagebirds and birdconnection looking at pictures of same period PT-40's. I
found some distinct differences between mine and others of the same year. Wish
I knew why the differences exist. Guess that is how it is. Thanks again,

Leroy,
The 'short hand' would be to call yours a WB-40, since all WBs are
PTs (the FC was not made in a wide body). So either WB-40 or PT-40
(WB) are correct. The point of designating the model and year (in
forum messages) is that advice given/received is understood to apply
to particular models. For instance, my '95 is a wide body diagonal
aisle layout 42 feet. This layout presupposes certain features to be
located in different (perhaps unique) positions as compared to a non-
diagonal aisle model ... and it also has the Series 60 DD engine
instead of an 8V92. By using the model designation, anyone can go to
the Vintage Birds web site and look up the basic specifications.
While many BB systems are similar across years and models, some
systems are quite individualized to particular models.
