53 chevy truck vin question

I have a Mississippi certificate of title (bonded title 2008)

Truck is titled as a 1953 Chevy truck.


My question now turns to the vin number. As on the title and on a stamped plate from the door frame the number is 3KPA-xxxx on the plate and VBB3KPAXXX.

My research shows this number to be a Kansas City 1952 truck.

Should I have any concern with this situation or just get the truck registered here in Texas?

Re: 53 chevy truck vin question

If the title and door tag match dont worry about it.

And dont bring up any issues you might have with the title department.

Always a bad idea.

Feel lucky that they match. Some states titled vehicles back then by the engine number.

I had a 49 Chevy panel from Florida. Titled by the engine serial number. Lucky for me the original engine was in it. And it matched the title.

Just be glad they match.
