Thanks for your response....and I just tried the VIN Buster but the results are not what I expected. I have a bunch of the old registration cards with an ID number on them...I've assumed that was the VIN...since it does not change from year to year. That number is DGA591119...which gives screwy results...no year or plant, and says its a van with stake sides...none of this is correct. I need to have another look at the ID plate I guess. I see one just to the front of the passenger's seat on the firewall...it's pretty faint, but now with the truck in better light, maybe that will shed some new facts.
Other than that, I think you are absolutely correct about the time period in 47 when this truck was made/purchased. For us, that would have been not long before harvest and I think my Dad had put his name on the waiting list for one during WW II..
I like the vintage styling of this model with its "Waterfall" grill a LOT better than the AD ones...am I sorta biased?? Yep..
And...I just loaded some pix to PhotoBucket that show some of the progress. Brakes are the next big item to fix..fairly important to have those in operation....!
I'm not yet sure about the preferred method of putting the PhotoBucket link on here, but clicking on my name and going to my "homepage" should get you there.
