Topic: 1950 ford body number help

  I have a 1950 ford two door that I am trying to find out what model it is. When I got it it had the crestliner bedges on the front along with the original moldings on the front fenders. When I sanded it down the place where crestliner molds run were filled in with lead but it has the two spoke steering wheel instead of the 4 like they normally have. So I was wondering if there was a spot that i can look up the production number to see what model that was? This is what is on the firewall 1921 S D i think C70 8 18B 8325D. Any help is appriciated. Also where is the best place to buy the engine bearings as I am looking to replace mine along?

  C70 is the model -custom deluxe tudor sedan - after may 12 1950 70C was the crestliner body code, Could SD possibly be SP ? - Saint Paul assembly plant. 18B is the date code - Feb 18. 8 might be the paint code - Palisade Green. 8325 is the unit production number. seems to be missing the Upholstry code (40 - 49 possibly with an A after it).not sure what 1921 is.
