Hopefully you have this plaque on the DS door jamb?

The number will help us decipher model, where it was built, confirm the year and it's plant production number. You will also find a part number on the top of the cylinder head, numbers low down on the right side of the block (you can see them in the pic below) they will help.
The engine number is located as shown here on a pad adjacent to the distributor, include all these and many answers will be forthcoming.

potters repair, you have to help us before we can help you. The numbers on the title don't necessarily mean anything. Title might not even belong to this Truck. Post the actual numbers on the door jam or under the hood on the cowl and for engine identification we need the numbers on the flat boss just to the rear of the distributor. You gotta work with us buddy. The information you need is here.

will due for sure thanks for the help. ill look tomorrow. this truck has always been in the shed, the origanl owner died and the truck was giving to a family member, i have then bought the truck from there. the title says 47. but looking at pictures it looks like a 46. the hood is a 2 piece, ( that folds up from sides ) has push button starter on the floor, and has the lever on the gear shift you have to pull up to put in rev. both windows still roll up/down, the seat has a cover over it. Not torn under. 61,000 miles.

What area of Missouri are you in?
With the split, fold up hood, that should be a early 47 production, titled in 48.
GM changed body styles in 47.
Lot of info here, just ask questions in the proper areas.

The 1946 truck might have been sold as new from the dealer and titled in 1947. here are locations of 1946 ID codes.

Chevrolet often changed models after mid-year. Dealers registered a "new" truck in the year it was first sold.
