thats a 41-47 COE not sure about where the vin is located? on the 48-52 trucks its just in front of the front shock mount on the passenger side top frame rail, maybe on the drivers side also in this area??
I think on the pre 48 ford cars and maybe trucks too? the number was stamped on the top flat surface of the trans bellhousing, just above the little removable inspection cover?? just like you mentioned above, look up Early Ford Serial Numbers For Cars and Trucks Manufactured for the USA Market from 1932 to 1953
maybe that will say?

Vanpelt's info is pretty solid for cars, but its lousy for trucks as far as serial numbers and model numbers....
Trucks this age didn't have a VIN as such, just a serial number and you found it. It was stamped into the trans bell because ford believed that while engines were replaced frequently, the transmissions were more likely to stay with the truck/car.
What you found is 99T 529I08. The T stands for "Truck" - creative, huh? And Ford didn't use the digit 1 in serial strings, but rather the capital "I" for number one.
If there should be another number in front of the first 9 it would tell the year. By '46 that number would have been 699T, and 799T in '47, etc.
