Here is a photo of the VIN plate on my 53 3600. No title, as I bought the truck for the frame. It all appears to be original. I read it as 5KRK-7136 which doesn't seem to follow John et al's VIN decode article.

Thanks Jorb and Woody, I had just found that VIN buster....pretty slick. Just type your VIN in and auto decoder. Very nice !

However, I now have to remember I have a 52 not a 53.
