The number you gave is not a VIN (serial number) for a 1934 Ford pick up. Check it again. It should take the format star 18 followed by 6 or 7 digits and then another star. If it was a 4 cylinder the "18" would be a "B". Check the number again and post what you find. It is on the top of the left frame rail near the steering box.

Maybe it a canadian truck??? Cuz it the vin on my registrated paper

Charlie Stephens · 02-24-2014, 11:06 PM

Where do you find the number on the truck? Maybe it is a number assigned by one of the DMV organizations? Do you have any pictures you could post?

This is a mystery number, note.. old vins are not coded like new vins. Old vins are just a sequence of production number, other than establish year and month of manufacture, they wont tell you much of anything about your vehicle .

The 5,456,341 is only a little off here...we need to see stamping and how clear it is.
A badly stamped B could account for the F...second digit should be 2 or 3 for 1934.
So...is this from a stamping?? Is stamping clear or not? Are characters stamped in Ford style? are there stars?

The 4 is only a little high...it is not inconceivable that there could be a diamond or British B engine/trans numbered so.

I'm just thinking it's odd that number is so large and so close to proper if it is a state assigned serial. State numbers are usually pretty short.

In 1934 canadian four cyc vehicles had america serial numbers. The chassis were canadian. if it is a candian vehicle the number is close as bruce mentioned. F was only used on right hand drive vehicles

I know this is an old thread but it helped me out tremendously. My 34 5W must be sitting on a 4 Cylinder frame. Frame S/N is *B52XXXXX*

Fifty plus years ago cars/trucks were just a means to get to and from a given point, transporting people and/or tools and equipment if the vehicle was a truck/commercial car.
I personally know of several vehicles that were re-bodied do to accidents. My cousin re-bodied his wrecked '36 Ford 5 win cpe in 1947 with a 3 win body that he bought from a wrecking yard. Of course nobody but a hand full of his close friends and a few relatives had no idea the '36 was re-bodied..
Since the serial number on a Early Ford don't mean anything, how was anyone to know that the car had been re-bodied.
