It still looks to be a sequential production number. What is there to decipher? The flange by my distributor just has seven numbers, no letters.
Not trying to be difficult, of course, I just don't see what I'm missing.
Is it true that engines in 1939 and 1940 had K prefixes, generally speaking? That's what stovebolt.com says. So maybe all the VINs were just given a K by default. Though most of them didn't use the engine number as the VIN so I don't get it. The theory about the engine being intended for a passenger car is interesting. Is there any difference / way to tell?
