So there would be a 3100 1001 and a 3600 1001, etc. I have never seen documentation of it being so. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 | In 1950, Chevrolet truck Serial Numbers started using a sequence number each plant for each "similar basic series", ie 3100, 3600, 3800, etc for each plant. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Pictures RJ, we need pictures! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 77 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 77 | Cool thread and very interesting information. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2014 Posts: 9 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2014 Posts: 9 |
