Spanky - I don't have a photo of the ID plate but the serial number of the truck is 6PKD3224. Truck manufactured in Oakland, was a farm truck in Ventura before restoration.
When I have looked at plates on other Chevy 1946 the plate number seems to correspond to an engine number even though listed as Chassis #. I haven't found info about the plate(s) in the gm heritage site's 1946 truck download.
Maybe I am looking in the wrong place or don't understand what I am reading. I am new to all of this.
From what I understand from the seller - the serial number is on the title. Title is said to be clean and the truck is licensed in CA.
Rich's Toys - could very well be that the 1947 came from sale date. I don't know what CA did back then or does now. Seller could not remember why but seems to think manufacture date was April 1947. Maybe that was
the sale date that came with the original documentation (if any) that he got when he bought the truck.
Thank for your thoughts. Seller is pretty open to questions - so I will ask if plate still exists.
