What year is this serial number
I came across a Ford Delivery Van project with a 4 cylinder engine for sale.
The serial number is 5217966 and the title says it's a 1934. Is that a 1934 serial number? |

For early Ford serial numbers (VIN) you can always check the VanPelt Sales web site.

Apparently Vanpelt doesn't list the 4 cylinder serial numbers.

Re: What year is this serial number
GPierce,
That is likely a 1934 S/N. The 4-cylinder serial numbers started with 5,189,491 in 1934. The 4 cyl engine was discontinued for trucks on March 1, 1934. Ken

Thanks guys.
It's out of my price range, the owner turned down $10,000. |

Re: What year is this serial number
I didn't even think about the B engines but they were numbered differently. You can find those listed on the link if you scroll down past all the A stuff. The number would have a B prefix on a car and a BB prefix on a truck. It should be June of 1933 according to that list. http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/ABenginenumbers.htm
If it has a 18 prefix then it is a V8 frame with a model B engine and it would be a 1934. A lot of years have gone by so many changes could have happened. Last edited by rotorwrench; 10-10-2017 at 01:38 PM. |

Re: What year is this serial number
Only on the title.
I have not personally seen this car. When I posted the original question I was concerned about the the 34 title and what I thought was. 32 radiator shell. I didn't realize until I perused the link Rotorwrench posted that the 34 trucks used what appeared to be a32 shell. |

Re: What year is this serial number
The hood and radiator shell say '33, not '34, which is consistent with the engine build date. (The issue is a bit confused by the dashes laying in the foreground as the one on top is '32 while the one beneath is '33-'34.)
