Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 37 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 37 | I know someone can answer this for me. Where do I find the engine number on my truck? It is a '39 GMC Cab-Over-Engine.
I have had it for ten years. I finally decided not to build it. I will probably sell it or trade it for a pick-up. However, whatever I do with it I still need a title. Texas requires the engine number for a title before 1955.
I have the goverment bill of sale. It was bought in 1976 for $227.00. It had 38,649.6 miles on it. It has never been driven since. The bill of sale has an ID number on it...C22830585. Does this sound like an engine number or a VIN number?
It belong to the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines. The guy I bought it from is a John Tractor dealer. He was going to restore it and haul a restored antique JD tractor with. But he never touched it.
If I do decide to get rid of it, I will place a want ad on Stovebolt to let ya'll have first chance. | | | | | Joined: May 2002 Posts: 155 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2002 Posts: 155 | Look on the flat boss where the distributor goes...
should be a number and it will also tell you what engine you have...

Thanks for the info. Now I just need to get a good flashlight and check it out. | | |
