Thanks for the info, your carryall was already listed, but the information you provided really helped me flesh-out the '43 (last few produced) carryalls registration numbers. I have SWAGGED (since the short/final production run of 465 didn't allow for a more accuarate mathematical calculation) a hood number of 20260994 (plus or minus 50) for you. If the actual registry number is know or discovered, I'd really be interested too see how close I am in my estimation. Congrats and best of luck on your restoration!

I suggest a hood number of W-20184212 for your 58, and I can't use the 1-1/2 ton information at this time...thanks anyway!

Divingrocks,I assume from the latest posts my carryall #81627361,tag #4249-1289 was built in '43.I could not find any numbers on the hood or bumpers when it bought in '78.Can you give me your guess as to the month and day it was built and what the hood number should be?.I'll be sending for a build card soon.Thanks for your effort and regards Joe Caprio cappy42

I'm sorry I didn't see this original post...my bad!
I'll estimate 20261208 as a registration/hood number and 2-16-43 as a date of manufacture. Let me know the engine number off the build card when you get it.

Congrats for being the 400th and helping me reach my goal...keep those numbers coming and we'll have even more imperical data to make predictions and calculations from.
20571047 is a registration/hood number I have calculated for you, which should be accuate plus or minus 200.

Congratulations on making your goal of 400!

Thanks for screwing-up my nice ROUND number of 400!
I have calculated/SWAGGED the following for you:
WC54 726180
WC56 W-20168888
WC64 743482

There is something wrong with the serial number for the 53, can you recheck?
