Purchased at auction a 1946 Chevy 4403 (1 1/2ton with stake bed). It came with 2 serial number plates. The original plate is there and serial number is legible. The new plate - and it looks brand new - has the number that is on the title. When I asked the consignor about it, he said this “…don't know when we lost the second plate. There's a company that makes the plate. Gave them a copy of the registration and they sent me that.” The new plate list the max weight at 4600lbs. The truck is actually rated at 15,000 lbs. He says he contacted the people who made the new plate and they said the weight rating was as high as they could go. I am very confused. He either didn’t want to tell me the whole story or he legitimately doesn’t really know. Or I just don’t understand ….
