I bought a 28 Chevy one ton from a farmer in Indiana. From information found in the truck it lived in Missouri before that and according to the VIN was manufactured in Missouri. In any case, there is a number on the doors. 2-30-500. Anyone have a guess as to what that is?

I think that is the old Missouri Commerce Commision numbering scheme. Now defunct.

I didnt think phone no, because of the pattern, but I did suspect some sort of business ID ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |

| Well, now that the number mystery is solved do we get to see the rest of the truck? Are you restoring it? Do we get to see your progress? I think we are curious. |

The Chevrolet Truck Plant was between Goodfellow and Kingshighway in N St Louis on Union, just south of Jennings City. Made GM Bodies in the 1920s as Fischer Body. In grade School 1960s we got to take a Plant tour there before closed completely in the 1980s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_Truck_Assembly" rel="nofollow - St. Louis Truck Assembly - Wikipedia |

I did repair the fuel pump and removed the Farmall tank. And, no matter what, I will strip the paint off the bed and some sort of clear coat on it. ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

| Re-do the bed and power polish the sheet metal and call it restored!! Easiest and best restoration you could do to a truck that looks that good! |
