Unusual engine ID/Unusual truck - 08/07/15 03:42 PM
I have a "41" 160" wheelbase truck. It was a one owner when I got it. Have original 41 title. Motor & vehicle #'s match title.
Motor " is AG 406025. From the research I have done this indicates the motor is a 1941 235. I cannot find any references to 1941 AG engines with a 6 digit number.
The VIN is 9YS01-4541. I think this indicates the truck was built in "9" Ohio, YS is 160" WB, 01= Jan. and the 4541 is the
number off the line.
This truck is unusual in the fact that it came with a 4 speed & a "brownie" from the factory, so I assume this was a special order option as the truck was used in very heavy duty logging work.
I believe the long block to be OK, so it may not make much difference to me in getting it running again but I sure would like to know.
Maybe a couple tips on little known id methods?? Can send Pics if needed now that I'm through most of the grease buildup.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Darwin
