Glad to see you are getting into the swing of things with your truck. FYI, my '47 1-1/2 ton truck VIN is 6QK-L1771 and 11000lbs GVW as is stated on the door plate. Below is informationI found on the web that might help you. You may note that my "QK" model is listed for '47. The numbers after the model is the wheelbase. This should get you in the right ballpark. BTW, how do you know it is really a '47? FYI, the website I got this info from is:
