There were a number of states that were not forward thinkers back then. I have a truck from Oregon with the same issue. This is the reason I have kept the original 216 because of the engine number matches the title. But, in reality all you have is a engine that you have a title for, nothing to do with the truck. Alas, arm wrestling and trying to explain the merits of assigning a body number in lieu of the original engine number with the DMV will be fruitless, like Martin says. There should be no duplicates of engine numbers because the engine number's suffix is a production sequence number that is unique only for your truck.
