This subject has come up numerous times and most recently today a fellow FordBarner asked me about the body number for the Briggs Town Sedan. I was wondering if anyone has accumulated any data on the body number, engine date and frame date? Can the body number be used to date a TS if the body number is not visible or too bady worn? I doubt if it could identify a day of the month but at least the month. I do not know if there are production numbers for Briggs TS by month. I believe all I have seen are combined Briggs and Murray production numbers. I would be interested in compiling this information if it makes sense.
