The 1950 codes are in different locations than 1931 codes (that Rick W asked about).
-
1931 truck serial number location -
1931 engine serial number was just a sequence-number (the starting number for that year is shown)
- if you want to know how high the number went in 1931, you'd need to look up the 1932 starting serial number.
----------
In 1950, the Vehicle Serial Number is on the cab (between the hinges on the driver's side) and the Engine Serial Number is pressed into the block to the rear of the distributor.
There is/was no true VIN.
Either of the above codes could have been used for titling and/or for registration.
Unfortunately, the engine code was often used. If your engine got changed, you are SOL, unless someone put the original engine code on the replacement engine.
