Re: Picture of your 1950 VIN Plate?

The straight numbers are it's position in line in the plant that it was built in that year. Meaning that Bigblue29's truck was built in Janesville, is a 3100 series and was built in December and was the 572nd 3100 series truck down the Janesville line that year. Numbering started at 1001.

I picked up another set of number and letter stamps that I think might have the right font. The two other sets I have don't have the correct font or even close. I haven't got them out and played with the yet thought.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
