(8G87H314457)

That can't be the VIN #.

Do you have a photo of the Rating plate on the door & the truck?

That reminds me of a 1968 vehicle.

8 = 1968

G = Plant in Chicago

87 is the body style no listing

H is the engine no listing

314,457 the rest is consecutive build number.

weird, the first digit of this should be a letter.

Model THU = ?

The title is one thing, I need the data plate info.

The title could have a human mistake.

I think the Cab code 85 or 86 was for a cab & chassis.

I need a photo.

That sounds like a Junk Title VIN. It means nothing. Some yards also will remove the data plate. They often leave the one stamped into the frame though. Its on the passenger side near the front of the truck. It should be on the inside of the frame.
