1. Did that truck come with a plate on door?
2. If so, did that number match the title originally?
3. If not, what does it mean that he has a plate on door?
4. Poster: Does the door plate almost match title or what?
5. What was PO explanation why door plate not match title even though engine gone? If back then it was standard to have a door plate and they used the engine number as the serial number, why would title not match door plate?
6. I don't know AD factory serial procedure.
7. Maybe all you wanted to know was......does serial indicate 5 window or not.

- Depends on who (the state, official-person, DMV office) titled/registered the truck
- The engine serial number or the vehicle/cab serial number might have been used

3. Maybe he means the plate between the door hinges?

5. only the poster knows
