Here's the link; http://www.volocars.com/news30.html , The dates are wrong, it's the 26th & 27th of August. It's closer than Fairfield by a hundred or so miles.

Hello All
I've just started my adventure with WC 52 and I see there are a lot of experts in this forum.
Can anybody help me please, I'm trying to find out what my truck body tag means. It seems to be unusual, as I've seen that they use to have 8 digits like xxyy - zzzz.
mine have 10 digits. 4290 - 163539 can anybody tell me what it means ?
according to frame number It's late '44 truck.

Thanks for Your fast replay,
certainly I've bought my truck from Sweden.
I was just wandering why there is such a difference in year of build.
As You said body tag shows it's 1942, but frame number - 81749641 indicates it was end of 1944 and it has 12 Volt installation, wooden cargo bed and shorter left side. It seems like both of this tags were originally there and nobody replace them.
Have You got any ideas ??

Probably been rebuild some time. If you contact Chrysler you can get a build card wich will tell you the original body and engine number.

4290 does not mean it is a 1942
The way the body tags work is that they mark the start of a given body type. 4290 is an open cab body that was started in 1942. The body tags for WC-51s were 4290 from 1942 to 1945.
The way you tell the year is the numbers after the 4290- those numbers can be compared to other trucks to see where yours falls. As you have a high number I would guess it is original to your 1944 truck.
I wrote a page about body tags on Power Wagons, the numbering is not exactly the same, but the same theory applies.
Look here to see it:

I hope this helps.
