G'day k3nn3th,

The numbers that identify your car are all in the engine bay on the LHS:
Engine number is stamped on the crankcase near the front engine mount.
Chassis number is on the top of the chassis rail just forward of the cowl.
Vehicle number is stamped on the plate screwed to the face of the cowl.
The large embossed number stamped into the cowl is the thief proof number and does not identify the model.

The 1929 6th Series Standard Eight 626/633 cars have engine numbers running from 233017 to 276166. The chassis number and vehicle identification plate number should each have numbers within a few hundred of the engine number. Those numbers only identify the Series of the car ie 626 /633, not body style.
The number that identifies the original body is a small brass plate attached to the floor on the RHS in the rear passenger area. As yours has been converted to a truck it will have lost the body plate. If was a 626 Sedan then its body number would have been 333.

Are you sure there is a dash in the middle of the engine number, I have not seen that before, 240755 would identify your car as a Sixth Series Standard Eight. Check the other 2 numbers which should be very close to that number.

I hope that answers your question?
