  What you need is the 1949-1951 Ford Book that the club publishes. It is available from the online store. It will be a great asset to owning your Ford.

But, I will give it a shot .,............

B = V-8
0 = 1950
DA = Dallas assembly
177502 is the sequence number for production (it started at 100001, so your vehicle is the 77501 one produced.
Hope this helps. You should also have a cowl code that will give you the body code, color code, Upholstery code.
