Steve,

All the WWII Serial Numbers on the frame are just in order by batch, so you could have almost anything.

You need the tag on the glovebox to be sure what you have.

If your tag is missing then you will have to order a build card from Chrylser to be sure what your truck was from the factory.

Check out this site for more info on the WWII trucks:

This page might help some:

Scroll to the bottom and look at these three pages:

They have some of the better info I have seen on this subject, even though it still will not tell you what you have for sure.

These pages, plus details on your truck might narrow it down enough that you can tell what you have. What is your Serial Number? What body style is your truck now? Does it have a factory winch? There is also a frame part number on the side of the frame under cab that sometimes helps with IDing a truck.

Let us know what info you do know and maybe someone can give you some good details to look for.
