Durwood and others interested...
The first digit designates the assembly plant. 5=KC
The BK is the model. The BKs were the '42s
The 10 following is the month of manufacture; October, 1941 (remember they
started the models in Sep and of course, there weren't many built after
12/7/41. They stopped in Jan, actually)
The remaining digits are the sequence numbers.
My Art Deco site explains all this in more detail. url below in .sig

Subject: [oletrucks] VIN help for Art Deco
Hi list,
My neighbor has a Pcup which is an Art Deco but the year is unknown. He
called the Chevy 800# and they told him that his VIN was for a 1949 1/2 ton.
I know that it is NOT an Advanced Design, but fosho an Art Deco. The
Chevytrucks.org site is down and I cannot decipher this vin so I come to the
all knowing, all caring OleTrucks list for further instruction. His VIN is
5BK103049. What year is this Pcup? Hepmeplease.
