Is this a 1947 model?

I assume the H47 means it's a 1947, but what does the rest of the tag mean?

I can't help with too many of your answers, but I can say the H is the assembly plant code, Home Office, Windsor, Ont. and the 47 is the year code for 1947. The 77232 is the consecutive unit number. Most of my info is for 48 and later trucks, so I don't have reference material for the rest. It looks like a really nice truck and a fun project.

According to the Merc/Canada files 6J would be 1946, 239 cid engine with a 4 spd transmission, engine number 6100
The rest I can't help with sorry

Thanks for replying! That is more than I knew before, so it helps!

I'm confused as to the year though....
If 6J means a 1946, and 47 is the year code for 1947, does that make the truck a 1946.5? lol

Ok, just realized it's probably possible to have a 1946 engine in a 1947 truck body.

Thank you both for your replies. It is much appreciated.
