I have acquired another flatbed truck. This truck was used in South Louisiana as a grain hauler. This truck has a 41-46 body style.
It has Model : Master 4265
Chasis No. 8M543 or 8MS543 not sure if that is a 5 or the letter S for the third digit.
The engine block number is BG732344
Let me know if you guess come up with anything on these numbers. Thanks for any help.

Good deal, thank you Chev Nut. This truck has dual wheels. My cousins grandfather bought this truck new and used it to haul rice here in South Louisiana. The truck appears to be either I'm guessing Brewster or Forrester green. I cannot find the paint tag on it. Thank you for the reply.

I believe that Brewster was the green in 1941-46.

In the serial #8MS43, The last two numbers stand for the month of the year. The 43rd month of 1942 would be July of 1944. .
. Manufacturers weren't allowed to produce civilian vehicles durring WW II but were allowed to sell their 1942 vehicles if the purchaser had a priority. i. e. Creative serial numbers.
