The Ford Barn

I acquired the above truck last year and took the title (issued 1953) to the sec of state (Michigan) to transfer to my name. While looking at the new title it looks like they made a error when they entered the serial number. I still have the title from 1953 (they voided it and let me keep it) and the numbers on it are confusing to me.

The Sec of State entered number (5112050) as the serial number on the new title and I believe this incorrect. Before I return back to have it corrected I need to verify what the following numbers are. I do believe the correct serial number should be A 2325 149.

Can anyone help me ID the other numbers on the title? Frame is to badly rusted to pull a number and there is no engine to check that number.
Are the last 3 numbers (149) the engine numbers of part of the serial number? The title reads as follows:

Make-- Ford A 2325 149
Body---PK UP
Year --1930

On the right center side of the title it lists the words --Title number

Listed above those words --5112050
Listed below those words ST C 53 363369

Thanks in advance.

The engine # is Axxxxxxx. Since you don't have an engine in the truck I am unsure how anyone can verify what you have. Likely that it was originally registered with the engine #. So I would say that 149 was part of the engine #.

A2325149 (Sept 1929) is the correct engine-serial number for your truck. The other numbers are for the Sec. of State use and have nothing to do with your truck.
