1941 Pick Up Vin. # ?

SORRY. IT IS A CHEVY. I have a CHEVY pickup with vin. # 5WB091270. I think it is a 1941, but with the WB, I feel it is probably a 1942 built in Sept of 1942 after the war started. What is your opinion. I only have the Cab and Vin. Tag. I forgot to go out and look at Pass door for a lock or holes for trim in the cab. I can later. Any help will be wonderful.

The Vin number is on the frame, not a tag, unless it is a Chevy? Where is your intro?

 

On my '40 pickup, the number is stamped on the left side (drivers side) frame, by the engine frame mount.

 

That number is not a '41 or 2 Ford number. And if it were, it wouldn't be on a tag or on the body.

 

Looking at his profile, he has a 41 Chevy.

 

Here is what I found out about you pickup

Serial # : 5WB091270
Mfg Year : 1940
Model : 1.5 ton (single/dual)
Wheelbase : 158.5 inches
Plant : Kansas City, MO

1.5 ton... that's not a pickup, that's a big truck!

 

LOL! Yeah that is what mine was too!

 

What ????
no tag on the '40

 

That's what came up when I entered his tag number he has listed on here

 

Sorry I took so long to reply. I know it was built in Sept. The (09) in Vin. and the (WB) means War Board Vehicle, But if it is a 1940 that was before the war. That was my reasoning to feel it is a 1942. Built in Set. 1942 after the war started, not before. What is you opinion. I do not know if they built Military Vehicles before the war with (WB) in the Vin. Again thanks for your input. R3

 

I just checked the Vin. Place. That was Cool. I guess it was just made for the military before the War. I checked my friends 46 Vin Numbers on his Pu, and it came up as a 46.

 

Well glad I could help ya out bud!

 

I checked my 1941 chevy and it came up at 1961 WTh?
