The title and registration that I have (going back to the early 60s) uses only the engine number. The plate on the cowl is missing. Only the 2 screws remain. I have no problem with the registration, I would like to get the correct VIN so I could get more information about the truck. For example, I only assume its a 1.5ton, I dont know for sure. I have heard that the VIN may have been stamped into the frame also, I dont know where to look for it.
