I think you are correct on
The 5
CK is 1946 1st design 1/2 ton, I believe *
The 05 should be May of that year
Serial # starts at 1001 off the line. Your truck 1,306 off the assembly line
Is your CA vin tag Blue? If it is a Blue Tag, they are issued by C.H.P. as a replacement V.I.N. Usually the original V.I.N. plate was removed, damaged, or altered.
