Lonestar --

That's an excellent question; actually one I'm dying to know more about myself.

According to the more reputable SN sources, the first 2N was a 1942 with SN 9N99003.  Seems straightforward enough until you note that same sources say the last 9N was a 1943 with a SN of 9N105412  ???

I'd say you have one of the very last 1942 9Ns but I can't prove it like I'd like to be able to.  I'd love to know the real deal of whether Ford did a clean conversion from 9N to 2N in which case several SN guides are glaringly wrong.  Trouble is that few folks tend to be concerned with these details -- frustrating!!

Let me know if you discover anything,

The 9N serial numbers stopped at 99046 according to one web source...

my documentation shows the 2n started at SN99047 in 1942.  What you have is a late 9N.
