Just bought my first deuce

I just picked up a new duece for 3800 in Maine unfortunately the data plate is missing but the truck is fully functional how can I find the year. In our state it only takes a bill of sale to register it but I'm curious.

Post #6 in this thread has a link that will help decipher what you have. Deuce Manufacturer?

I'm about a hundred miles from the truck right now. The engine was built in 85 with no rebuild tags. Thanks guys for helping.

The photos won't transfer from my phone to the thread but they are in my profile.

Have fun!!! Just be careful, I was warned about the degenerative disease caused by the green iron contained in these trucks. Of course I knew better and thought I could beat it....wrong...

Sorry don't have a pic but did a quick search of the forums, seems as if the Vinni's on the right side of the frame behind the tire area...

If no one else answered this man, the numbers on multifuel deuces are on the left frame rail to the rear of the steering gearbox mount plate. Generally. I do own a deuce that has no frame numbers on either side. The first REO deuces, circa 1950 and up to 1961 had numbers on the right frame rail. Search both sides, as many multfuel deuces were originally gassers from the 50's. I have a 1953 REO that was rebuilt in 1990 as a multifuel, all new running gear too. JT out

Truck with no tags sounds kinda fishy.... hope you didn't get yourself in a bad situation...
