Well it looks like you have a correct serial number for a 1940 Ford only the guy stamping it seems to have forgotten his 18- stamp. If you still have the original transmission the number will appear on the top of the transmission just above the little inspection door. See if that has the 18-.

Ford usually stamped the 18- prefix on the serial number located on the top of the LH frame rail near the steering box mount. Ford also stamped the number without the prefix at the top of the LH frame rail near the kick up for the rear axle.

I agree with 42wagon that someone forgot to stamp the 18. There is no way to locate the original owner unless you have some old paperwork, which will give you a lead, and do some detective work on your own. Consider yourself lucky that the transmission number basically matches the frame number. That does not happen very often
