number is = 21 OS 05 4166 which I decifer to be a Janesville 1946(interim) 1.5 ton made in May.
:confused:
So here's my confussion:
Was it made in May of 45 or 46?
If made in 46 would it be month 17?
If OS means 1.5 ton then what does 4000 printed on tag mean? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,212 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,212 | My Parts Book shows "OS" as being 1946 first design and "PK" as being 1946 second design...both are for the 160" wheel base 1-1/2 ton truck.

i have a 44 1.5 with a serl# of 21MS28xxxx
if it has plastic window cranks, leather around gas filler and no chrome/stainless it would be a war production truck or start of civilan production using left over parts.
