Hello Kris
Welcome aboard. Post pics/links to pics. We love to see pieces!
Also, the guys here maybe able to nail down what year your truck is.
As far as the VIN goes. It "should" be a blue plate (unless painted over or rusted) on the driver side door jamb (front of cab) NOW, if its not there, try the eng. IF its the original eng. or IF the previous owners changed the VIN when they swapped out the eng. you should be ok. The #'s are down by the distributer (sp?) on a flat piece. Mine was REAL hard to see because it had about 15 coats of brushed on paint. It is STAMPED, not raised lettering.
Also, the guys here can help you with what kinda eng. it has in it as well. I have a 1953 that should have a 216 in it. Come to find out, my 53 had a 59-235 in it. Never know till you ask!
There is a VIN buster link off this site as well.
Best of luck!
