    Does anyone know if the engine number is stamped anywhere on the frame of a 47 Chevy Truck? Just picked one up and the motor has been swapped but on the ***le it's vin is ***ociated with the motor not the door tag.

    don't think Chevy ever had frame numbers, and wouldn't be motor no. anyway; it'd be vin no.

    Original engine with same numbers as vin on ***le, I have been told by a few older guys , from a dealership I worked at that it was normal practice back then.

    That's how they ***led them back then they used the engine # as the vin on the ***le.. I had to take my 1940 chevy to Missouri State Highway Patrol , They looked my chevy over for Numbers. and they used the numbers on the floor tag on p*** side..

    If the number next to the distributor isn't the same than on the ***le or the door plate, I'd have it vin-verified. That's the only numbers you will find.
