The ownership certificate on my 41 pickup shows an ID # starting with N and then five numbers. It is not the same as the # on the frame. In fact it is not even close. As near as I can verify it appears the truck has been in California it's entire life. I do know that California once registered vehicles by the engine #. The truck has signs that it was a 6 cylinder or a 4 cylinder when new. The main sign is the gas line coming out of the passenger side of the tank and running down the right frame rail. The question I have does anyone know the numbers that were stamped on the engine blocks of the 4 cylinder trucks? I think the ID # I have is for a 4 cylinder truck as those were industrial or tractor motors. Any info would be appreciated.
