The seller tells me that there is no serial number on the front door pillar with 11 digit and starts with a "0" on a GMC 1960 SUburban. Do you think that is ok ? i am buying that truck for my 16 years old son , he wants to bring the truck in Canada and do a restoration project on it , i am happy with that , but i dont want to have any problem with that VIN situation and lost resale value because their is no 11 digit serial number on the truck !

Do you have an answer about that or also can you refer me to someone that could help me ? I am french , sorry for my english! thanks ! N.B. the title of that truck uses that chassis serial number on it.
I hope to bring one of these '60 GMC Suburbans back into the family again someday! Please post pictures when you can! Seems to me your english is fine!
