Good evening guys!!

I have a question about the serial number on my 1952 Chevy 6400 Loadmaster (Please). So, on the serial number plate inside the drivers door, it shows a GVWR of 16,000 pounds. What I am getting questioned about is the Serial number.

Per the plate, the serial number is KEA135170. I sold this truck to a guy and he is saying that it is totally wrong and it may be but it sure looks like it was originally stamped by GM because the numbers are in a perfect line and not sloppy. The K even looks like it has some kind of circle around it.

Are the bigger truck serial numbers a little different than a 1/2 ton pickup? The serial # on my 54 pick up is H54S048707.

Please advise and Thank You in advance!!

Kevin

Guys,

I found a Stovebolt link that says the number is legitimate.

That is from my website, Kevin,

Here is the original source of that information, from the original 1952 Chevrolet Salesman Truck Data Book.

KEA = 1952 Chevrolet 6000 series truck assembled in Flint, Michigan
