( Here is a PDF version of that ID page) T1723577 T = 1.5 ton truck from Flint Michigan assembly plant 1723577 = 1187822 (first truck serial number in 1938) = 535,775th truck out of the plant that year? Does this look right? 195447 is the first engine serial number in 1939. So, maybe Tom's code is good for 1938? Tom, can you find any date casting codes on the block/head? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | aah back at the beginning of the 216 - interesting a truck that old still has the original engine  Bill | | |
