Sorry I should have said so...yes that is the site I used quite simple and allowed me to register my truck/panel Karl Quote
pflaming Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 I checked mine out this evening. Built in San Leandro, CA; 1952, build number 508, 217.76 cu. in. I wonder how they determine the difference between a 217.76 and a 218. Maybe mine was made on Friday and they were in a hurry to go home! I wonder, is it possible to find who the first dealer was?

Young Ed Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 That is the actual cubic inch measurement its just rounded up. Quote
