I've got like 3-6 VIN plates from various AD part trucks that have gone to
that great big truck stop in the sky... GMC and Chevy = ton thru 1.5 ton.
I'll look to see if one is a > ton... and let you know.

I don't know about ADs but TFs had the VIN also stamped on
the frame in two
places, one by the steering box and one near the drivers
side rear cab
mount.

Thanks. Luckily, the PO had the title, so I'm totally legal
now with my own
title and new registration. I was only going for
authenticity as far as the
VIN/door plate was concerned. I guess it's a lost cause...
Athough, the resource William provided might be able to help
me link the
engine number to the VIN

The number you have looks like the engine serial number
which was commonly
used to register the vehicle. There is no way of getting a
door plate
number correct by guessing because it contains the actual
production number
of your truck as well as the plant it was produced in.
