The vin no does tell me where it was made but little else. I can't match the motor no. with any thing on the Inliners sight. The old truck is said to be a 1946 1 1/2 ton. I was wondering if I had a 216 or a 235. Body no 21 PJF Motor no. dca 50423. If you could help me with this you would be my id hero for life.
Thanks Tony | | |

I am looking for a link to a site that has all of the codes (google wasnt' being very nice to me) and I'll post back and tell you if I'm all wet or not.

D = 1946
C = Vehicle Designation (Truck)
A = Flint
The DA's were passenger cars, the DB's were for 3100's with 3 speeds and the DC's were used in all trucks with both 3 and 4 speed trannies.
If you'd had a Babbit Pouding 235, you'd probably have a serial number starting with DD or DE. | | |

Check out inliners sight. there is a link listed on this sight in the links section under clubs. They have a lot of information about various casting numbers there. | | |
