Ok, I manage to get over to the truck today to get the #'s off of it. They are:
Model: 1423 (Chevy, 3/4T, 125 1/4" wheelbase0)
Serial: 8142308520 (1948, Chevy, 3/4T, 8520th produced)
Engine: X238352
Body: 328
Trim: 394 (Brown Leatherette?)
Paint: 830 (1948, Commercial Blue)
5800lbs Max
This is the info that I've been able to decode so far. I haven't found much on the Engine code or Body, but I will keep looking.
I put some fresh gas in the tank, with a little fuel-saver additive, cleaned the points, cleaned the wires and cleaned the plugs. Couldn't get it to fire, even with a couple shots of ether. Gas is going to the carb, so that's not the issue. That's as far as I was able to get today, since I drained the battery. Any advice is appreciated!
