I recently acquired a 1952 Chevy dump truck. After sitting unused for 10 years it roared to life with just a new fuel pump and fresh gas/battery. I've been told it has a 1955 235/6cylinder. The serial # is 0555345F54YG. The VIN is 21VVC-1284. The GVW is 16,ooo--does that make it a 1 1/2 ton? How do I figure out the series # (4400/4401/4500)? Any help you can give me decifering my #'s would really help. . I'll call for the restoration package at the 800 number on Monday. Thanks

Click on the American Classic logo on the top of this page and go to VIN decoder.

Also go to inliners.org

That site should have some info on your 235...

Where in MN are you?

American Classics site seems to be for pickup's and not 1 1/2 ton trucks or larger. The inliner site gave me casting #'s but not much else. I live North of Minneapolis. Mark

I believe the "F54YG" stands for a 1954 235ci engine built in Flint, MI.
