Can someone please provide me with a known-good example of a 50 3600 VIN so
that I can take and educated guess at the correct VIN for my vehicle?

When I purchased my 50 3600 (well, actually 3604 as it is the pickup), there
were nearly no markings from which I could get the VIN, except the
registration.  The ID plate in the door frame was gone, the original engine
and tranny were gone, and all I had to work with was the present, valid
registration papers.  I want to make a correction through the DMV and get a
new door post plate to make things right.

I know there are VIN decoders on the web; it is using them that has
convinced me mine is wrong, at least in the first section (the letters).  My
guess is the numbers are right, but someone along the line misread a letter
and registered that way, and then the door post ID vanished.  Maybe these
things happened in reverse order.  I don't know

Here's what the registration says:  AHCA757910.  I'm betting I (or someone
out there) can fill in the blanks and fix the mistakes in this.

By the way, I like to take this opportunity to state what most of you
already know: this post is a fantastic resource...  I have learned a
tremendous amount by reading the threads, and appreciate the time all of you
take to share.  As I learn more, I hope to contribute as much as I take
away.

Thanks in advance,
