We are here to help and the best way is to ask questions in the Garage Forums for best, and fastest results. No everyone stops here in the welcome centre each time they sign in. Many bolters in your state too so watch for them. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 2,168 A teacher, but always an apprentice. | | A teacher, but always an apprentice. Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 2,168 | Good score on the truck and welcome to the Bolt. If it’s Canadian truck, the serial should start with a 4 if it’s a 44. Canadian trucks (& cars) have the first number of the VIN as the year, followed by the model. I also would be surprised if it was a ‘44. I have read/heard the same information you have. They did stop making trucks for civilians. This might be your loophole!
Eg- my 51 1 ton VIN reads : 19434xxxxx- 1=51, 94=GMC 1 ton, 34=pickup delivery.
The VIN will help you.
If it’s a GMC, it likely has a Chevrolet engine. This was a Canadian GMC thing. I can’t be 100% certain about 41-46, but the AD (47-53) trucks do.
Badging may be different too.
AD Canadian trucks are 1300/9300 Chev/GMC 1/2 tons
1420/9420- Chev/GMC 3/4 tons
1430/9430- Chev/GMC 1 tons.
Hopefully someone illuminates the “Wurlitzer” model years for you.

Yes the vin reads as a 44 so that’s why I don’t understand how people call it a 41 if it wasn’t made in 41? Oh well.
I’ll keep scouring the threads for more info
