Can anyone tell me where the vin # location is on a 36 chevy low cab 1/2 ton truck? If anyone has a photo of what it should look like, that whould also be a big help. I hear that back then the vin number was the same as the number on the engine. Trouble is I have no engine but the 350 Chevy that is in it. If you build the truck from scratch and don't have a vin, how do you go about getting one? Do I go to dmv and tell them I am building a custom street rod.
