He assured me there will be no issue titling it a 30 or 31

My dilemma is if I use 1931 what numbers would I choose?
Can I use the stamped numbers that is on the cross member? Obviously this number dictates the assembly plant and rotation number it was built. If so I believe I can order a firewall tag to match. would that be legal? I think I do need to contact the DMV I just thought I would ask all the other model a guys there advice on what to do.
The firewall tag was only the body number for bodies built for Ford on a subcontract. These numbers were not tracked nor were they used for registration. Of course some DMV's don't know what they are doing on the old vehicles. The numbers should approximate those in this table: http://mafca.com/data_eng_production.html Let the DMV assign their own number.
