The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Title says Chevrolet but it looks like a GMC

I have a '55 GMC that we changed cabs with a Chevy. The dashes between GMC and Chevy will fit both cabs....but they are welded in, so not an easy swap.

The data plate is on the door jam on my truck, and is held in with push in type rivets. It is possible that it was removed during a cab swap and the original plate was not replaced and was lost. (trust me this can happen) This would explain the GMC cab on a Chevy truck. As stated tailgates are easy to swap and not much indication.

I would look to the number on the frame to satisfy curiosity and then find a replacement data tag to put back on the cab that you stamp with the correct serial number.

VIN plates are illegal to remove/replicate, but serial tags are not.....after all they were not originally intended for vehicle identification.
