SInce you guys are on the subject of vehicle numbers, I'd like to ask a question. Many people swap engines in the 47-54 Chevy trucks. And in those years, at least around here, the DMV (known as Dept. of Revenue here) used the engine number to I.D. the vehicle. What happens when a person goes to tag the truck after the swap, and the title shows the original engine number? I didn't think I would have any problem, because I had always heard that there was an I.D. number stamped on the frame. I was sorta hoping to be able to show that number to the Highway Patrol if there was any problems at inspection station.

1953 3100 with 1957 235, T5 and 12 bolt 373 rear
