If you have a specific question this site is probably your best resource. Another site that doesn't get as much traffic is http://www.earlyfordv8.org . You should add your general location to your profile there might be some good sources close to you. Look closely at the literature from the suppliers, I think I can remember some things related specifically to trucks. Do you have any pictures?

Post the serial number (using XXX for the last three digits) and maybe that might produce some information.

Bobd, what year BB truck are we talking about here? I owned a '32 BB 1-1/2 ton, short wheel base, with dual rear wheels, but sold it a couple years ago. I am no expert on these, but may be able to answer some of your easy questions .

1932 BB is correct. I hit the wrong key or relied on the wrong part of my brain. 131 1/2" is the short wheelbase measurement.
