First off, welcome to the Forums! No tags on body, and no frame, and no transmission, there are no more VIN numbers left on the truck. Ford put the VINs on the frame, transmission bellhousing, and a plate in the glove box door, that's all. So without these, then the truck no longer has a VIN number on it.

Pre '48 VIN's tells nothing about color, only way to tell that is to check in places for remaining paint. Plant where the truck was made is not told in early VIN's either, all you can tell is model, engine, and serial number. Some of the pre '48 COE's had 6 cylinders as an option, seen one that had one, and it was in the VIN that it should have a 6, but they are rare in the bigger trucks. Not sure if after '47 they became the only engine choice in COE's, but before '48 a 6 was optional.

The Vin Continues
46Ford Truck
I have been able to establish that 55K COE's were built between 1938-1947 not many as they were used for deliveries, shorter wheel base longer bed, makes sence. I still have not been able to establish how the vin # were layed out for the 55k that were built any places I can go to verify TNX

Not sure how diff the VIN on a COE is, but this forum's moderator, 41Clay has a 1 ton '41, hopefully he will be by soon and can help on the VIN's for bigger '41 trucks. My specialty is the '42 -'47's, with some knowledge of pre '42's.

Hey Skip - Welcome to FTE
I can't help you much on the COE's other than to point you to an older thread that may give you a little info.
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=141931
Also, I found the link to another COE guy that use to pop in here now & then. Check out Bill's site and you should be able to email him with your questions.
http://www.ozcoetrucks.web1000.com/
Tell Bill I sent you his way - he's a real nice guy.
Good luck and let us know what you find out.

I am hoping you can help me. We have what we believe is a 1947 Ford Truck that has sat for years. We have been trying to find the VIN number. We found this on the frame rail above the steering box * 799Y206I455 *. The 799Y is hard to read but I am pretty sure that is what it is. We want to get a title as the truck has not been registered for years that we are aware of. Can anyone help confirm this is a correct VIN number for a 47 Ford truck?

That would be the vin.
That sounds like a normal vin for any '39-'42 Truck with a V8. The vins aren't very descriptive. What made it different by year was the serial number - low numbers = early series, high number = later series.
