I'm trying to get my title changed since it has 1940 on the title and I want to use year of manufacture plates
Thanks

That code was not used in 1940 (or earlier), nor was it used in 1942. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2014 Posts: 128 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2014 Posts: 128 | That's what I though.
Thanks for confirming it

I know that the Jimmy's were far from rebadged Chevy's and some of the little details are difficult to track down. I see so many variations on trucks that were "restored" that I can't trust that what was done was to factory original specs. | | |
