lightweight Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Not wishing to hijack G506's thread, but I was wondering if I could trace the numbers on my Chevy's bonnet. Are they right or are they not? They are W-302805 at the moment, but that means nothing to me at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G506 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Hi Martin, another Chevy owner, good man! I will have a look in my books later, but the W prefix sounds correct for a 41 truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G506 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Martin, W-302805 as a number doesnt match from my (very limited) documentation, but it's very close. could it be 320 not 302 at the beginning? Because W 320805 ties in exactly right as far as I can see, for a 1941 Y series truck. Im assuming she's a cargo? If it is, and if you have the serial number plate in the cab, does the serial number have either 'YJ' (cargo non winch)or 'YM' (cargo with winch) in among the digits? Theoretically (and other Chevy owners correct me if Im wrong) but 1941 trucks are either Y series or Z series, 1942 to 1945 trucks are N series.

lightweight Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Thanks very much for looking that up. Definitely 302 - picture attached. Possibly a deliberate mistake by the previous owner? I haven't asked him I must admit. It is the cargo version (G7107?), you are quite right. Sadly, I can't find any of the data plates - I have a chassis number but I don't think that it helps. Perhaps if I get round to a repaint I'll change the digits over but in the meantime it's nice to know that it's right for its age. Now I need to know what the 'UK-MD12' means!

Adrian Barrell Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 30xxxxx were tanks as 30 was the tank prefix so definately wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G506 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 30xxxxx were tanks as 30 was the tank prefix so definately wrong. Number prefixes, Courtesy of 'Degsy', back in 2007; 3 - Trucks, medium 1.5ton (cargo, dump,truck-tractor). 30 - Tanks, all sizes and certain tank based special vehicles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
