I also have a TF truck that has no VIN plate on the cab and the VIN on the
title makes absolutely no sense to me. Where on the frame, or anywhere else
for that matter, could I possibly find the VIN on my truck?
I have only had this truck since June. The guy I bought it from says it is
a 56. It has a 57 hood and 56 fenders. The original engine, tranny, and
rearend are long gone. The front brakes had already been swapped for 5-lug
items from a passenger car. It now has a 327 and a T-10 four speed. Also,
I just bought a F*** 9" rear end with disc brakes from a Lincoln to swap
out.
Thanks,
Jeff

Subject: [oletrucks] What truck is it?
I have a 1957 Chevy that I don't know excatly what it is. THe VIN plate is
gone off the cab, but the following is stamped on the frame "57L107513" I
have checked the registration and that is what is on there too.
A few months ago, I had to rebuild the front brakes, and the parts that fit
were from the 3/4 ton brakes. I have looked in the assembly manual and the
way I read it, all 3/4 tons were long beds. Mine is a short bed.
Has any body heard of a 3/4 ton short bed, or maybe the heavy brakes were an
option on the 3100. If some one knows the decoder sequence for this VIN
that would be nice. I have tried a couple of different websites that have
decoders, but none of them give me any information.
