Hello Folks, just received the new Hemmings today, they had a "special Section" on "Chevrolet Truck Milestones".
I was applauded that there was not one mention, not one word, or reference to any trucks from 1939 to 1946. What a slap in the face to our WW2 veterans, production workers and the efforts of all then and now in regards to that era in automotive/truck history. Mike and Hemmings need a tuneup for such a publication.
I guess my EC152 does not exist in their eyes.

I’m not sure where you are going with this post. If you are just venting it’s fine.

What year EC152?
Is EC a 1947 car 217 Engine Serial Number preface?
1947 car 216 with heavy duty clutch?

If you have the original engine, what is the entire Engine Serial Number?
Also, what are your head a block casting codes / date codes?

My Truck is 1946 with original 228. The truck was bought 10 years ago from original owner with ~27000 miles. Just used on a potato farm here in northern Maine. I recently rebuilt a 270 from 1946 and will be installing when the weather gets a little warmer. I will pickle the 228 and keep it with the truck. I'll take a look tomorrow for the engine serial number, I know it starts with 228xxxx.

When I received the Hemmings today and look at the cover "special Section" on "Chevrolet Truck Milestones" I was looking forward to read it. I was very disappointed Hemmings did not say one word regarding 1939 to 1946 trucks as though they don't exist. I'm partial to them, I have four, all GMC's.
