All,

I hope you can provide some insight. I'm looking at a 1957 3200 Napco. Everything about it looks like a 3200: badging, the front Napco pumpkin on passenger side, the Napco badge lists 3200, the long bed, 8 lugs. The only problem, the VIN states V3A57, which designates a V8 3100. The VIN plate also doesn't look original, but the title and registration both list the same VIN. The guy seems genuine, and I'm guessing that somewhere along the way, either the VIN was lost and replaced with a junkyard VIN, or the whole cab of a 3100 was placed on a 3200.

Is there something I'm missing? Is there a great risk in considering this truck? Thanks.
