no, you're not understanding, you're just saying you have a valid title for that truck because it has the engine number on it that's shown on the title, the engine number matching the title is meaningless - when folks talk about "numbers matching" they're talking about the engine number matching the manufacturers actual vehicle VIN, which was the VIN on the title by muscle car time when "matching numbers" became important, not the engine number .... the numbers stamped on your engine are NOT the same numbers as on your door tag, which is what "matching numbers" would mean, there is no list of numbers on your truck that are "matching", every part that has a number has it's own sequence number .... and I not only stand by it, I'll suggest that you'll have a real hard time finding anyone else to disagree
and I should point out the original question: "Do
block stamp numbers always match partial
body VIN numbers" the simple answer is ... no, never
