My mistake, it is GMC. I just see GMC as chevy. Seller had only this one truck and his story sounded honest (whatever that means). He bought the neighboring property with a hay storage from his neighbor with this truck in stored in it. They didn't want the truck and they transferred the title to him which per him had the same VIN number. That was 5 years ago. When I took was looking at the truck the cab was filled with junk including rat and wasp nest but with all that I found two pieces of old registration dated back to 1980s with the same VIN number and his neighbor's name on them. That made me believe the truck is legit. Having said all these thing I believe there is strong chance that te engine have might be swapped since the transmission is swapped. I figured this after I brought the truck home and took the junk and flooring out. You can see in the picture how the whole has been made in the floor. That doesn't look stock even for 1953 technology! Now, I have already registered the truck to my name with the clear title that previous owner gave me. So, I already have plates and tags (I decided not tog et collector plates)for it. So I have my registration and when I fix it up I can drive it around. I have kept the original bill of sale from the seller as well. Should I go trough the trouble of changing the VIN?
