Correct! Also if you contact the factory with your truck number they have all the build sheets and will make a copy for you. Clarence Jungwirth did mine for "Eve," truck No. 1198 and I found out it was completed December 24, 1937 so I call "her" Eve. Forgot the details on the '47 W-2201 other than it had to be among the very first of 25 built between 1947 and the mid fifties when it was discontinued (893 ci. Buda gas option I presume in the 2200 series.) Oh, of some interest is that the trucks didn't roll out of the plant consecutively numbered, the frames were consecutively numbered as they were set up on the floor. When they got completed depended on the shipments of the engines, etc. as I discovered when a truck had a number higher than mine but was completed before mine.... Clarence said it was not unusual at all. I just noticed it because mine was so close to the end of the year and was registered as a '38 and the other one was a '37 and completed like two weeks before mine! That also was up to the customer. Oshkosh doesn't care about years or completion dates, just the truck number, then they have the build sheet and can provide any replacement parts correctly, or at least for how it left the factory.
Have you ever seen a 2206 in person? <grin> I kinda hope you haven't until you see your truck! Larry
