Data plate missing

I am restoring a 1959 B162, BD264 gas engine, single axle dump truck (like a Mason dump). The data plate was missing off the door so I bought a blank and wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions for getting the original posted information. My engine serial number is 609678 and the chassis serial number is SB 7147E. I am looking for the official numbers for the Wheelbase, Certified Net Horsepower at RPM, Certified Gross Horsepower at RPM, and Maximum GVW. Any suggestions on where to look would be appreciated. Just to gild the lily, once I get this information, any leads on where to get this information stamped, as opposed to etched on the plate would be appreciated. I know there are plenty of places which will etch it, but I like the look of the stamping better. This truck has much more important repairs than the data plate, but the way I figure it, it's good to do some of the fun stuff first!

Buy a letter stamping kit?

Technically it's illegal to do.

Super Scout Specialists is the only legal reprinter of IH Serial tags, and they reprint as a sticker.

You need to show them proof of current title ownership, Line set ticket, may need more info from you. They really were reluctant to do the one for My SSII, I even have the original tag but it was wire wheeled by previous owner.
 
There is a guy on eBay that will laser engrave a decorative plate for a good price.
 
Thank you. I'll be sure to look at that. Any clues on where to get the horsepower, wheelbase and GVW as originally equipped?
 
Clicky for engine specs: Can also be found in the corresponding service manual. Measure axle center to axle center.
