The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop 41 casting number question

If there is a casting number of 839910 and a 41 pink slip with same number how does this happen? most casting number sites say 839910 is 42-53 year ???
Could it be a late 41 truck with 42 motor?

Yes, just about year 216/235/261 engine could have been swapped around.

Also, your 1941 truck might have come with a 1942 motor.

Or, you might have a 1942 truck that was sold as a 1941 truck.

What is a "pink slip"?

839910 was a 216 block casting code from 1942-1947

Find and post the head and block date casting codes.

What code is on your Vehicle Serial Number plate? (if you can find a plate)

That's what I'm thinking new model (42) sold in late 41
pink slip is title
Thanks
