Where did you look this up, Kevin?

I see the Stovebolt "VIN" buster does not recognize that KBA preface.
Maybe it works with the Vehicle Serial Number?
Is there a Vehicle Serial Number plate on the driver's side door jamb?

KBA is the Engine Serial Number preface for a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 truck assembled in Flint, MI

The 1951 3/4 ton Engine Serial Number preface is not that code.

The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.
