YES 1948 (1947 would be the same)1954 (1955-1st would be the same)"Location : stamped on plate attached to left front [driver's side] body hinge pillar." (between the hinges) It looks like this location was first used in Advance-Design trucks (1947 model onwards). | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 | At least as far back as the early 1930's Chevrolet had a chassis/body/vehicle serial numbers (but they weren't always mounted on the door post) and engine serial numbers.

I'll look for pre-1936 ID information. Added later: 1935 is the first year that I can find GM stating the use of an Engine Serial Number and a Vehicle Serial Number (locations are not described).
