Default Need help with box tag!

I discovered this tag while painting my box. I am going to restore the box
properly next winter but its going in a parade tomorrow. I was thrilled to find this; it had been heavily coated with paint so I made it legible.
Would this make my truck a 1941 model? Its is a C15A Cab 12.
Thanks for info
Terry

Terry,

This is the tag on my truck's cargo box. It was built by the Canadian Top & Body Corp. Ltd. of Tilbury, Ontario, Canada. The tag reads "42 03 2C1 7025", which I think denotes it was built March 1942, type 2C1, serial 7025.

Terry,

The box in the picture is indeed a 2B1, check with the list of types of bodies for CMP 15-cwt trucks from Gregg's "Canadian Military Vehicle Profile Series" - go to http://bcoy1cpb.pacdat.net/cmp_canad...ry_pattern.htm and scroll down for a couple of scanned pages.

Now, how do we explain the "2C" on the tag? Is it a miss-stamping?

Hanno

Any box tags I've come across have been below the endgate on the passenger side.
