It does not really matter. I call them VIN's and everybody knows what I mean. When you buy an old truck that had a "serial number", the title will say VIN and..... when you register it and get a new title.....it says VIN again, even though it is not constructed/coded per todays standards. Serial number was just the jargon/practice of the time until the universal standardized identification was adopted. it's OK to call it a serial number or a VIN. We should not admonish or split hairs on that every time someone says VIN.
The value of this truck is not affected by a DMV assigned VIN. However it was done.
So now we have two or more opinions.
