The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - 47-55.1 Weird Title Number (Serial #)

I have a 1951 gmc that had the original 228 in it. When I was importing it across the border into Canada, the border guard went out to check it and came back in and said the serial number doesn't match. I had gotten the truck from my uncle and trusted it to be correct and hadn't checked. I freaked out, but luckily my buddy had gone with me and said : Hey wait a minute. On old GMC's they used to go by the number on the block. The block was still in the truck and saved me. I have just taken the block out cause it was in pieces and met a guy with our insurance company here in BC who let me use the serial number on the A pillar. Maybe you can do that. Say it was an abandoned vehicle.
