I believe I need some professional help. In more ways than one !! I purchased what I believed was a 1948 F-2 or F-3 truck. I have found most of the serial numbers and believe I have most of them decoded. But this Frame number is giving me fits. I've looked for 3 days and now I give up. I hope some one out there can help.

Here is what I've found so far...

Cab ID Plate Serial # 87HC*102xxx = 1948, 1/2 ton, 6Cyl

Cab Firewall # 2MP3F144 = Red, Memphis, 3 June, number 144

Engine # 7HA6015 B 7 = 6 Cyl, 90 HP

Rear End Tag # 7.34 = 4.86:1 Gear Rato

Please feel free to correct anything I'v gotten wrong.

I looked everywhere for the Frame Number. I found this number on the cross member, under the Radiator. I assume it's the Frame number. If so, can anyone tell me what it says about this truck.
