how can i tell what year my trucks are?

i was recently given two 39-47? trucks but i dont know how to tell exactly what year they are,is there a tag somewhere that can tell me?

The Tag on mine was on the driver's door frame. If you get the Serial# you should be able to look it up on the WWW. http://t137.com/registry/help/decode.php

Can you post pictures of them here?

they are both this style

this is the other one

the first truck already has a power rack and pinion front with disc brakes and a 4 lug ford rear(gettin yanked for an 8 3/4) it also has some ford 6 cylinder in it with a duraspark ignition and a weird auto trans with a removable bellhousing.The other truck is completely stock and is missing only the carb. I even got an extra grille and fenders,a box of chrome and gauges,all the stock wheels and hub caps,and an extra set of hoods.not bad for free eh? Oh and very very little cancer

Whatcha gonna do with the grille

well i only have two trucks haha im probly not gonna use it

The guy who started on yours must have been related to the PO of my 37. When I bought it had not only the Mustang II front suspension (fortunately a well installed aftermarket crossmember). They had also used an entire Mustang II drive train 2.8 V6, C3, and 8” 4 lug rear end (and for some reason had butchered the firewall).

I’ve finally got mine back in the shop and am putting a proper MOPAR drivetrain in it.

And that does look like the proper drivetrain to put in, It would be my first choice also

haha must be related then cause the guy who did mine chopped the frame and floorboards all up on the one , im just glad he didnt decide to chop up the other one too. and i have to agree on the drivetrain, nice choice!

52pikup do u need a grille? like i said im not gonna end up usin one of them,i almost thought about takin it and the fenders and makin it a decoration in the shop but i dont think im going to

Yeah 78asprin, im interested in the grille, Sent ya a PM!

Anyone seen 78asprin? tried PM'ing him and Emailing him no luck though...?

i will go with 1940----the clue is those little style lines on the trailing ends of the fenders---plymouth only did it one year--1940--39/41 and following years are all smooth----bob

They are later than 1940. My dad's '47 has the style lines on the fenders. The 1940 "cross" grille didn't follow all the way down, instead had chrome horizontal trim that followed the steel portion of the grill.

They are definately '41+ but i'm not sure how to distinguish those years apart.
