Hey guys. I'm new here. I've been searching different sites and I can't find a VIN decoder for my 47 loadmaster. Here's a pic of the tag inside the door. 9QW G 1922. I've only figured out it was a 47 by looking at pictures and reading about the differences between models. I don't know much else about it. 1.5 or 2 ton? Engine size?

with a GVW of 16,000 and also the bolt on front wheel bearing covers, I believe you have a 2-ton. 1 1/2 ton wheel bearing covers did not bolt on.

Both my newer 2-tons are also rated for 16,000 GVW.

You were right on sir. Shortly after I posted I found the decoder I was looking for. 2 Ton built in Ohio in July 47. 161" wheelbase and from what I can find, that size only had the 235. Thanks!
