matching numbers trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I had a 1972 corvette with a 454 eng that had a series of numbers on the front pad that matched up with no's in the VIN. Were these trucks ever stamped the same way?

No - just the relevant year. In other words, it's impossible to verify if you have the original engine through serial numbers.

Just the engine codes. No VIN numbers on the truck engines.
