I am still working on my 51 gmc and in the process of getting it re-tittled, but to do this I need the serial number and engine number. my problem is I can not find the engine number. if anyone knows where it is please let me know. I'm probably looking right over it. Thanks in advance, ATV
Actually you should use the VIN number that's stamped into the VIN plate on the driver's door post . The engine serial number is a _stamped_ number on a raised flat on the right side of the engine , near the distributor . You really should not use the engine number as a VIN that was done often when your truck was new but it's not done anymore , if your block ever cracks or whatnot , you'll have to do a title correction , this can be very difficult when there's no old timers @ the DMV office.... -Nate
