No! They will never match. Using the Serial number from the seat riser you can obtain the original production order on the vehicle from the Studebaker National Museum.

Thanks, bought this as a 1947, but quickly found out it was a 1946 by serial numbers and serial plate was on door hinge pillar(late 1946 was moved to seat riser) this truck is early 1946, have DMV coming out to check numbers to get title work done, just wanted to make sure the numbers were not suppose to match, they are close, thanks again for the info.
