I bought a 3100 5 window from the family of the original owner. All paperwork and registrations we
re included along with the title. The numbers on the original title do not match the door jamb, yet this truck has not been altered at all. It could be the title used was the block number. which has been changed to a 235. Any thoughts it is a 1950

and
ESN = engine serial number Numbers & letters to the left of the distributor are are stamped onto the flat machined boss.

Back then they called it a VSN = Vehicle Serial Number rather than a VIN = Vehicle identification number.
The numbers and letters are stamped into the plate that is located on the drivers side door hinge pillar.

The title should ether have the ESN or VSN on it.
What are the digits on the title?

Stovebolt VIN buster punch in your VSN to find where it was built.
