CAN ANYONE GIVE ME SOME INFO ON THE 49 B1PWs PURCHASED BY THE MILITARY. I JUST GOT MY 49 HOME AND HAVE FOUND WHAT LOOKS LIKE MIL. MARKING ON THE DOORS , TAILGATE AND INT. DOORS READ "U.S. ARMY" WITH "244 8691" BELOW THAT. DOWN IN THE CORNER IT READS
"FT. S.H. TEX." BELOW THAT "TB-ORD-385" AND BELOW THAT "2-54". ON THE COWL SECTION OF THE CAB AND INSIDE ON THE DASH IT READS "WKLY THURS". ON THE TAILGATE IS ALSO "US ARMY". VIN PLATE SHOWS TRUCK AS A 49 BUILT IN DETROIT. ANY INFO IN THIS AREA AT ALL IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS , DWIGHT.
