I may not be much help but many times the older vehicles had the engine number as the vin number on the title but it appears you don't have a title yet?? Also not sure where the vin would be located on the '31. On a door pillar, on the right side cowl under the hood??
I'm not much help but someone else will be along shortly and help you..... and I'm not sure about the laws in Il. about getting a title. Maybe check with the local DMV.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
