Unless you can not get it plated what else could be the problem?

I will find out tomorrow if I can plate it. I just traded Sunday for it. It has a kill switch to the ignition on the dash. Factory I believe, And a push button white in dash for circuit breaker. Factory also. I think. It has a slap stick tranny. 3 high and 3 low. I traded a nice jeep for it. Always wanted a powerwagon.

Why did you trade if you did not know what you where getting? These concerns should have been addressed before the trade. Really sounds like this truck has some non-factory modifications.

A '79 SE is just a trim level, chrome around the windows and maybe on the lower body lines, and possibly on the tailgate too.
Not sure if what character the year is, but there is that 9. N should be the engine, 9 th year, and S the plant it was made in.

The VIN is actually D14AN9S148126 , without the "1N" at the beginning...
The body is definetely from the 70s.
The grill obviously was fitted well, but its from the mid 80s.
Here´s you VIN decoded:
You´ll find the VIN on the truck at the following spots:
- door pillar driver side (sticker)
- hood (sticker)
- door edge driver side (riveted)
- frame under passenger side door (stamped)

That looks to be a 81 up cab and box. Vin is 1981. Kim

Body is definitely '70s. Someone did a body swap om a Power Wagon chassis.
