Hi Robert,
The "2" at the beginning of the serial # inicates the year, 1952. The
next 4 digits, "1314" indicate the model, which is the Canadian
equivilent of a 3100, or 1/2 ton pickup. The engine number should match
the number stamped on the engine block, unless it's been changed in the
past. Don't know how to decode the rest of the info. Hope this helps!
