So the Head casting number is 3835909 which seems to be 1950-52
as far as can make out the block casting number is 3835882 but that doesn't appear to exist, so i'll look again in the morning!!
The VIN number is JPFI 0857 which i think makes it september 1951. janesville, wisconsin. 3100 1/2 tonne!!
