Rez Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Bought a barn find 31 DH6. Guy said it was a 32 but after research and help on this forum it's a 31 DH6. No engine. Has serial # 3552959. Trying to get title due to bill of sell only. Front doors wouldn't open when first bought but finally got passenger door open and that's where I found serial #. I still yet have to find VIN # stamped on frame. I'm in the process of getting a title but they want an engine in it. I will try to get pics loaded up soon. These 2 are from when I just got it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ply33 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Your DH was built fairly late in the production run. It is possible that it was first sold in '32 and states often used the first sale date for the model year on their paperwork. Can't say on your car, but on my '33 Plymouth the serial number is no where to be found on the frame. However the engine number is stamped on the outside of the frame between the running board supports on the driver side. You might try looking there, will probably require a good wire brushing to find anything on the frame as they weren't always stamped very deeply into the metal.

keiser31 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Do you have the engine for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Look on the outside of the frame on the driver's side, near the front spring hanger on the rear springs. It should be on the riser over the hanger. It will be a very faint stamping and will look similar to this....this number is on a 1933 DeSoto.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACK M Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 We found this on our 31 behind the front left wheel. As you can see they are VERY FAINT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rez Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 I do not have the engine. Apparently I need one so I can get a title. I am located near Dallas,TX. I will try to get under it this weekend because it's like 20 degrees outside right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rez Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 So the serial # is the Vin #? Cause I've been told they use the engine # as the vin #. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgedh2 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Many sates titled cars by the engine number. My state included since many vehicles did not have separate serial numbers. My 1931 Dodge DH is titled with the serial number as they did with cars which had serial numbers. I would try a different DMV office to see if they will title the vehicle with the serial number. Just apply with title using the serial number. Edited March 5, 2019 by dodgedh2 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
