That's the serial number. You should be able to match it up here:
Early Ford Serial Numbers For Cars and Trucks Manufactured for the USA Market from 1932 to 1953

the I is what Ford used for 1. I honestly don't know what the T is, but it could be because it's a COE? It is definitely 42 -47

There is a whole thread here about serial/VIN numbers that might help.

Some of the later 40's COE's (my 47) put the VIN on the horizontal area of the sheet metal "chin" under the grille panel. It was visible if you took off the grille and, while standing there, looked straight down. They were also on the center crossmember under the radiator (41) if you had the radiator mounted up on stands instead of a full lenght core support that bolted down to the crossmember.
