Smile It's Home

Welp The 53 Or Whatever Year She Is Is Comin' Home Today . She's A Real Mystery Though, The Po And The Title Says 54 , I Ran The Vin Number Here On The Site And It Says Its A 55 6 Popper And Yet Everything On The Truck Is 53 , Trim Grille Etc. When She Comes Ill Check The Numbers On The Flatty And See What It Says . To Be Truthful Though I Don't Give A Rats Behind . She's In Really Good Shape And Flatty Powered And Legally Titled In My State . I Will Argue With The 'putor Later And Try To Get More Pics Of It Up . By The Way Heres The Vin No. In Case One Of You Can Figure More Out Than I : F10d5u13108 . I'm Figuring Somewhere Sumpthin' Got Switched !!

I would start looking for the VIN # on the frame, it should match the plate on the inside of the glove box door, and the # on your title. Is this #F10d5u13108 taken off of the tag in the glove box or from Title? The VIN# stamped on the frame can be found in various places from the cowl forward to the cross member that supports the radiator.

If it is a flatty and the original motor, it would have to be a '53. That was the last year for the flat heads in trucks. The parts are inter changeable so the frame would probably be the best place to get the VIN.
