that thing on the side of the motor is the oil pump, Crank'n Hope also sells shop manuals on eBay, I'm not too savvy about deciphering the body tag but there is an ID tag in between the hinges on the driver door jamb, there should also be a ID# on the frame in the front axle area.

i thought it might be the pump but didnt want to guess,i know i about the tag on the door jam and frame i found them but that tag on the fire wall has a different number ,just trying to learn more about this truck i got from my gandfather he got new in 1950,thanks for the manual info-ge

Hello,

When I was looking at the tags on my truck I ran into this page. Hope it helps. I think you will find that the number starts with a 4312 not a 4912.

The 4912 is the code for a conventional closed cab that fits a B-2 series truck models B, C, and D. The 118172 is the serial number of the cab.
