Thanks Mike, but all of that data I have.
The issues is that the engine was likely swapped into the truck at one point and the vin tag was modified to fit the engine number for titling purposes.

I’m tryinh to identify my truck with something other than the engine number and tag.

It’s a half ton truck and even has 46 stamped on upper corner of the cowl.
