Stovebolt.com Forums The Parking Lot Panels 'N Burbs Finding the VIN 1948 Burb

So my 1948 Chevy Suburban has a VIN of SBA33045. I can not find the VIN on the burb. Please assist me where to find this. The Burb was bought in Michigan. Also I posted or replied on a few threads. How do OI know when I get a reply or where I put replies.

Thanks Mark

The Vehicle ID is screwed/riveted to the driver's side door jamb, between the hinges.

Where did you find that "VIN"?

Mark, reply’s, if any, will appear as the next post below your post, such as Tim’s reply just above mine and right below yours. Some of the posts you posted to or replied to were several years old and no longer monitored by the original poster.

To add to Martin's response about finding your posts, you can click on your username on the upper right of any page. That will open up your profile and just below the top box will be a small link box that says "Forum Posts". Clicking that will display a list of all your posts.

I typed the VIN on the title from Michigan when I bought the burb. I cant find it on the actual burb. That is why I posted for help.

The ONLY place you will find a vin on your truck is the plate riveted/screwed between the drivers door hinges on the cab side. No other places. If that metal tag is gone it cannot be legally replaced without going through your State licensing agency.

My vin number on my title is the stamped number on the engine next to the distributor .

Some states register with the engine number (which on some cars was also stamped on the frame). The OP's "VIN" may be one assigned by his state's registration agency.
This was before the Vehicle Identification Number became standardized as a 17 character alpha/numeric string with each position having a specific meaning, allowing you to decode a modern VIN, the first character being the country of manufacture and the second, the company. Other stuff like body style, engine, transmission, etc are also included.
