    Does this serial number look original to the truck? How can I decode it? I think its a 1952-53 pickup

    I hope it's not a car, wrong plate for a car.
     
  7. You can go look, but the guy's title will not match that tag number.....Those trucks are titled to the MOTOR number ,and you can see it on the original 6 cylinder motor on the block "ledge" near the distributor on passengers side of block......

    Sucks that GM did the title to the motor, hardly any match. and when some of us put V8s in them it is even further off.

    Some states titled them with the engine number some did not.
    Some states will title them with the serial number if the motor is missing.

    My truck is titled with the number on the ID plate.
     
  10. that is sometimes the end result if your old engine is gone....almost always it will require an inspection by the highway patrol to verify number/title change issue though.....
