1948 Jeep Truck I bought this with a regular title, not a state issued for rebuild
Question is, I can not find anything even close to this Vin # when searching
Any input is appreciated

Tom,
VIN numbers didn't come until much later with Kaiser and American motors owning the Jeep brand. The serial number breaks down as such.
4= 4X4, T= Truck, 17904= serial number as built in 1948. 1948 production serial numbers= 12347 to 33304, for a total of 20957.

gmwillys, appreciate the information, was a little worried the seller pulled one over on me
The tag is put on with pop rivets so I suspect it is an aftermarket tag, the originals were screwed on.
The original '48 tags looked a lot like this one.
I had this artwork made from the remains of the original tag from the '48 and KWAS has them - I sell Mike about 15 or 20 a year.
(Just be careful not overload your truck and void the warranty.)
LarrBeard, Nice ID tag, if you sell them I would like one with Vin stamped in
