Just found this site.
I have found out that the title VIN on early Chevy trucks (my1936) was usually the serial number of the motor. There was no other number on body, frame, firewall or doorpost. Have verified this with owners dating back to the 50s. A previous owner of my truck that did the V8 engine change verified that the original 6 cyl block serial number did match the number on the title. It is a continuous Oklahoma title number since new. In Oklahoma, the DMV let me put a plate on the frame that matched the title. This seemed to satisfy the insurance company and lender. I understand that in some states this can't be done (illegal) Steve
