hi, im trying to find the info on firewall/cowl coding. I know ive seen it before in a link but cant find it today. could anyone point me in the right direction please?
code prefix is XHBX. is very likely a Canadian pickup
no I tried putting it in there an it said no info available or something like that.
found this info https://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/identification/Series/, there no bx in there but theres bk. pretty sure itll be bk on the tag and the guys read it wrong, just waiting to here back from him to confirm after he checks it again.
xhbx15290, or more likely xhbk15290 is its serial
my 42 1 1/2 was also prefix xh. but I cant find anything in the link I included above in reference to the xh?..both trucks are in new Zealand, both right hand drive so maybe xh Canada?
I've seen them in different locations on a '42, which was on the driver's door jamb, and my '46 which has it on the passenger side cowl, under the hood.
On a 1946 Chevy 3/4 ton, can anyone tell me if the truck serial number is stamped on the frame somewhere. The id tag that is normally on the passenger side cowl is missing, so just wondering if it's somewhere else on the truck that I could look for the number. Thanks in advance.
The only # used in 1946 for ID was the motor # located next to the distributor. Two small hexagon clutch head (8-32 X 1/2") threaded screws were used to mount the ID plate on a tag on the passenger side firewall under the hood. See photo for location. The I.D. plate — every GM truck had one attached at the factory. Basically, it states the vehicle’s gross weight limit (weight of truck plus its maximum allowed load) plus stamped digits that give the assembly plant year, size of the truck, month built, and sequential numbers as it came off the production line. These plates are necessary for positive vehicle identification.
