May have been dependent on the model.
In 1963 the Corvette's had the vin on the motor.

This is true, Cars had them long before the trucks did. Again no factory stamps on 67-72 trucks.

Corvette's began getting VIN stamping part way through 1960 with other applications soon to follow- per The Lime Book.

My 66 ss chevelle has the vin on the pad on the original motor my car was even registered with the engine # I had to supply a picture of the vin on the post to get it registered with the complete vin.

Best you can do with the 67 -72 trucks is the date code ,engine would have been made a short time before body .

On trucks GM knew engines would be changed out regularly as they tended to be abused.
