This should be were the ID tag is this is the one on my 49 on the drivers door jam. There is a number stamped in it. I was able to decode mine on the LMC web site.

Im looking to decode my vin# for my 1949 GMC PANEL..where did you find a search engine where i can input the info?

You can decode the body serial number. Tells where it was made and which one and the year made. Your tag may have been just screwed on being a 49. Maybe taken off for a fresh paint job st some point? Maybe you'll get lucky any find it in the truck somewhere.

Not sure if panels decode the same but this is the site I used.

That does him no good as he has a GMC with a different tag on it.

His door post tag should read like this one.

Still the states are getting very strict about altered vin tags. even if they are old GM truck door post tags that it was the norm to remove to paint the truck back in the day. The inspectors here who are closer to Nvrdone than me by about ten miles go over vehicles they inspect on a hoist in a closed room and from experience can tell you things about your vehicle that you never knew.


It was snowing sloppy wet snow today so I didn't get out to check my frame for a stamped serial number.
