What I have is a 42 chev pu, the only paperwork I have is the title. The title year date says 1942 but the vin on the title is a late series 46 code. This truck didn't have a vin tag and I didn't give it much thought. The guy I bought it from bought it thinking it was a 42 also due to the title, no vin tag there for him either. He titled it but never drove it. The engine sn is F307A. Can anyone give me some info on what my next step should be . Thanks, dean
