VIN Data Plates

[Jocko_51_B3B]

Unfortunately, my '51 B3B was missing the VIN plate on the A pillar of the driver door so I need to order a reproduction tag. I want to make sure the correct data gets embossed onto the tag.

Other than the serial number, can someone verify that these numbers are correct for the B3B?

Model: B-3-B-108

Gross Vehicle Weight: 4850 lbs

Certified Net Horse Power: 86 @ 3600 RPM

Certified Gross Horse Power: 97 @ 3600 RPM

 

Here's another interesting historical fact I've noticed from VIN plate examples I've seen online; it looks like the B1B and B2B plates leave out Gross Horse Power and only include Net HP. But the later B3B and B4B model VIN plates included both ratings. This is only "important" to someone in my situation who needs to replace the correct style of VIN tag.

I see when I resized the pic you can't read it.

It says 4850lbs

82hp at 3400rpm

97hp at 3600rpm

f_armer,

Thanks for the picture. Your photo helped me see that there's a difference between B1B / B2B VIN tags and the later B3B / B4B tags. The early tags only list Net HP. The later tags include Net and Gross. Thanks again.
