when the engine/trans was assembled at the Rouge numbers were stamped into the bell housing part of the transmission. this number was stamped into the frame at three locations, near steering box, under drivers door and on the upward dogleg of the ds frame, at least that is where they were supposed to be. 9N was the designate of the 4 cylinder tractor engine that was installed in the truck, these engines originally had a number stamped around the starter/Bendix area, on one of my original 4 cylinder trucks the serial number begins with 9N xxxx with 3 speed trans the other began with a 11T xxxx with a 4 speed trans. does your truck have the dropped front cross member?
