Just a rookie here to the classic truck world -1 week owner-Well after restoring a 1958 corvette the past two years I had always wanted an older Chevy Truck...one fell into my lap last week 1/2 mile from my home in a old garage. too good to be true started on the spot many original looking components under the hood at first glance...1951 3/4 ton 36,000 miles light surface rust on body frame is clean as they come. Everything was good until tonight I tried to decode the VIN...now I'm all fussed up!!! Title says I have a 1951 with the vin on the door matching the last title with a vin number on the plate on drivers side door jam vin reads 14KRE3802 remember that the title says 1951 when decoding the 14 seems to mean Baltimore MD the K is 1952 the R is 3600 E is May and 3802 is the production number...the previous title says 1951 all info lead me to believe this is a 1951 and the decoder and everywhere I look say K is 1952 whats up??? any help suggestions.....looks like everything matches the vin on the titles but the year is wrong....this is my OH shOOT moment !!...any suggestions any help would be appreciated....do I ignore? do I try to go to Pa dept of transportation and try and change the year on the title? wow this could be a mess...I want to be straight before I sink a bunch of money into a complete restoration...I'm new to this truck thing any of you experts who have advice or an opinion would be appreciated
