I bought a truck out of a field the other day. I think its a 1948 6100 or 6400. Can anyone help verify this?
The serial is 21RW-A 1230

Thank you!

nice looking truck! Welcome to the site. Be sure to stop by the welcome forum and introduce yourself and your truck! ONce you have 5 posts, you should be able to send and receiver Personal messages (PMs) and view all of the forums.

Also, a lot of the technical questions can be asked in a specific forum for the best answers (engine forum, interior, body/paint, etc)

Hello, Fitzy40.

http://www.1954advance-design.com/chev-specs/1948-Chevrolet-t-ser.jpg

21RW-A 1230
21 = Janesville, CA assembly plant (actually in Wisc, as corrected/noted in a post below - thanks)
RW = 6400
-A = ?
1230 = 1230-1000 = 230th 6400 out of that plant that model year

Fitzy,
welcome to the Stovebolt. That is a nice truck. It is a real piece of history. That dash sticker is really special. I think a great journey for you has begun!
