Bought a 1954 6500, trying to find the vin since the plate on door jam is missing. As per the registration I have 0899435344. I've tried the vin decoders but it's not coming up. Wheel base is 161 and frame might have been shortened. Thanks in advance.

look at the top part of the frame rail on the driver's side by the steering box, it might be there.

Silenpro,

Welcome to Stovebolt.com

Good luck finding the Vehicle ID, if the metal tag is missing.

Hope for materman's suggestion to work out.

What is the Engine Serial Number, ESN (if you think it has the original engine). It is pressed into the block to the rear of the distributor.

There was no VIN in 1954 - sometimes/often the ESN was used for registration ID.
