Considering a truck purchase and I'm finding both the owner and myself can't figure out what it is. The title has the number GBA113045 which I read is a 1949 Chevy with the 216ci engine. The owner can't find that number anywhere on the truck though. The door jam plate is missing. Does that make the title useless? I'm not concerned with the seller, more concerned that the DMV will give me a hard time.
The only other number found on the engine was F09I4J
I haven't been able to find any matching information on other forums or Chevy truck ID sites that matches this number on an engine block. Is it possible the engine was replaced?
