Gas tank date
Hi guys, I got to noticing tonight that my gas tank has a 4-2-29 date stamped in it and the frame number shows that engine was stamped the same day also. The chassis has the features that are listed in service bulletins from march 15 thru possibly the end of April( April 6th 29 shows the body bracket up front was redesigned but I'm not sure which style I have but it wasn't as late as may because I still have the 3/4 hole in rear crossmember for brake rod) is it just odd coincidence that these two numbers were stamped on same day or have others seen this also? Thanks

Re: Gas tank date
Not the same day, but all frames should be stamped with the engine number when the engine is lowered to the frame on the assembly line. Hopefull your title card number also matches these two numbers.

Also look at my website and go to Additional Studies...then to Letters, Numbers and Codes for more information. Is the body original to the frame? Style? Pluck |

Your cab should have a date...but then again, maybe not because not all tanks got stamped within the stamping period of May 1928-September 1929. Pluck |
