I've stumbled across '41 thru '46 trucks that were titled as 50's trucks.. and i've seen trucks that were definately '47 thru '50 trucks titled as as late as 1957.
What happens is somebody comes across a data plate and a title and just slaps it on.. the average highway patrol or DMV person isn't going to know the difference between a '40's truck and a '50's truck in most cases. They just check to make sure the number on the title matches a number on the truck, and that the number doesn't come back as stolen.
