Some of the older vehicles do have numbers on the frames. The older Chevrolet trucks have numbers on the frames usually stamped in the area of the steering box. This is where the term "matching numbers" comes from. The body number, the frame number and the engine number have to match for a car or truck to have "matching numbers".
Most of the states are not interested in the "matching numbers" of older vehicles, but they do want, like you do, a number that is on the vehicle to be on the title. Truth is the VIN is what they prefer, but back in the 30's, 40's and even the 50's the engine number was the number used quite often instead of the body number, which was the VIN of the 30's, 40's and 50's - even the 60's.
I still contend that in Texas, if you will explain that you want the VIN on your title instead the motor number, if that's what is on the title, I believe they will agree with you. But you will have to go through the process, what ever that is, to get it done.
