There should be an ID plate on it; 39 COE truck models VE, VF,VG, VH, VM or VN. 1940 models were the same but W instead of V.
On the non-COE's the ID plate is located on the passenger side of the cowl under the hood. Not so sure on a COE, but you might look in the same general location.
Some things to know about the serial number.
1st number: Assembly location - other resources on site have what the various plants are.
2nd two letters: Truck ID per the quoted portion above.
Next 2 numbers: Month in the previous year that it was assembled.
Last digits: What number this truck was off the line.
This will also help you establish the rarity of the vehicle. If you find the VIN number post it, and several people can help you decode it.
What a cool truck.
