Re: First time visiting question - 3100 for sale
This is one of the things on these trucks I am not well versed in but I don't believe that on AD trucks the engine number and the Vin or serial number on the door post match.
I'm pretty sure that they don't even as far as the production number goes.
As long as one or the other matches the vin on the title you are good from the start.
I don't know which one California used but Oregon used the Engine number if the Oregon title for the 51 1-1/2 ton I have is any indication. If you intend to restore it to showroom stock which one they used isn't an issue unless the dmv says it isn't the number they now want. then it just takes an inspection.
The back corners of the cab being rusted on these trucks is almost standard equipment in that it is more normal on a truck that hasn't been redone to see the rust there than not. Dirt and stuff like shop rags, paper an what not collects down in those pockets on the inside (my step father hid his beer there in his 54) and rust happens from the collected moisture.
