194X K Pickup Identification
Posted: Sat Aug 24, 2019 7:06 am
Looking for some clarification in the identification of the truck I just drug home. I am confident that it is a "K" series based on the grill and some other identifiers. I am lucky enough to have a legible serial on the engine (picture taken on the driver side in front of the generator), a mostly legible stamp on the frame (picture taken on the driver side in front of the spring hanger) and a somewhat legible data tag (tag taken from the driver side floor).
Engine - GRD214 26844
Frame - K2 6879
Data Tag - K2 214, K2 6879
The engine serial is quite clear (Green Diamond 214 CI) whereas the frame and data tag aren't nearly as legible. Per the frame and data tag, I expect that this is a 1941 K2:
My impression was that the engine serial SHOULD match the frame and/or data tag serial indicating that this engine may have been swapped in at some point HOWEVER it was swapped like-for-like with the original engine. Am I on the right track? Thanks for the help, build thread coming soon!
