B1 indicates it in the first series of B models, model year '48-'49. A B2 is a '50 model year, B3 '51. The B series is often called the "Pilothouse" model. The PW is the model, a powerwagon. Other models includes B, C and D which were 1/2 . 3/4 and 1 ton 2WD models. The 126 is the wheelbase in inches. Another example is my truck a B-1-C-116 which is a '49 3/4 ton 2wd on a 116 wheelbase (7-1/2 foot bed.) The engine serial numbers starts with the factory engineering code. In the case of your PW it should be T137.
