Well, I received the title today and it's a 1946! The truck VIN confused the seller (DEA351941), thinking the last four VIN digits was the year.
I'm not exactly sure what that means to my restoration and parts search effort. Maybe I can change my name from 41flatbed to 46flatbed.
Maybe my parts search will be more fruitful.
Anyway, I'm pleased to know the real year and that my truck is five years newer than I thought. Does anyone see more positives in this?

Nice to know you have it all straightened out before you sink some hard earned cash and hard work into. Let the fun begin.

But at least you got the title straightened out. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 4,251 "Hey! I sound like Darth Vader!! | | "Hey! I sound like Darth Vader!!

Lots of work to be done but happy to get started. I notice the second picture truck (no hubcaps) has the eight lug hubs. Are you interested in selling a front hub (or two)? Mine are mismatched, with one having a flat surface at the inner bearing (the one I need) and the other protrudes back. My front brake drums (11") fit the flat surface hub. It's fun learning what I do and don't have. My email is [email protected]Don
