Hi everyone, new here.
My wife and I just purchased my late father in law's '53 M37 from his estate. It was partially disassembled and partially painted when he passed. I now have it 99% assembled and 80% painted. I would like to find out what the original hood and unit bumper numbers should be. The serial# is 8 0250 31 3
Ord Corp. Mfgd. 7/31/53. Any info would be appreciated.
Also there is an ID plate whose location I can't find out. He had just added power steering so it may have been removed from somewhere in that location. I'll post a pic of the plate. Thanks much.

Welcome. The only place that these numbers will be is under coats of paint on your hood and bumpers. If your truck has been sandblasted, they are lost. Sand carefully to find them. You might find several iterations of these numbers as trucks were repainted often.
