I need some help on vehicle ID for my 53 Chevy 3100 pick up. I am in the process of registering this truck in California which I bought from my sister-in-law in New Mexico. I have the title signed by her that was issued in August, 1989. She had this truck for the last 23 years registered in NM. On the title the Vehicle ID number is BLCC696918. On the truck's front left door is the metal plate on which is the following VIN: H53K03949. Obviously this is different. The engine on the 53 Chevy is a 235, a replacement, which seems to have the number F4115U KAAA02848. My sister in law indicated that this truck while she had it had several engine changes. So my questions have do with how to present this information the the Calif DMV so I can get this registered. Is the number on the title an engine number? Any/all advice is welcome. Not your usual problem. Thanks. Jim G
Not knowing where that # came from you should do a lost title or lean sale paper trail and use the #'s on the door post. And also if you have AAA go ask them for advice. Best of Luck, Charles
