    A friend of mine just gave me a '41+ Chevy pickup and I am trying to
find out what year it is.  It has the chrome grill and trim which I am told
was only in '41.  Do any of the numbers on the id plate tell me the year ?
    The truck had a 327/350 trans dropped into it (no plumbing or wiring).
I am planning on completing the job (w/the V8) and turning it into a daily
driver with
upgraded suspension but stock bodywork.
    I have seen several different kinds of ifs front ends.  Any advice
about which one may be better than others (Fat Man, etc.)?  What about rear
end suspension:   New leafs or coil overs?
    I have never done a street car/hot rod/resto before and it looks to be
fun.  Please e mail direct to wbnash@dakotacom.net
