Evidence status

The photographed metal identification/loading plate reads CCD146F455263, matching the dealer listing. Verification is limited to the matching identifier and selected plate text within one dealer photographic source family.

Factory documents

The selected GM metal identification/loading plate reads GVWR 4,900 lb and front/rear GAWR 2,940 lb and includes a stamped no-slide-in-camper warning. No manufacture date or federal-conformity declaration is visible on that piece. These are historical inscriptions, not a present safe-loading assessment or a legal certification finding.

Physical vehicle evidence

A close-up shows the VIN-bearing GM plate attached to blue-painted bodywork. The surrounding gallery documents the truck’s dealer-sale presentation. These photographs do not authenticate the plate or establish original paint, trim or installed components.

Owner or seller statements

The dealer describes a light-blue C10 with renewed blue upholstery, a 250-cubic-inch six-cylinder engine, a three-speed manual transmission, same-family ownership, West Virginia farm history and recent mechanical work. These remain seller statements; lifetime mileage and ownership continuity are unverified.

Later research

Past & Present Motor Cars stock 455263 and its syndications use the same exact VIN and are treated as one vehicle/source chain. A dealer listing or syndicated location is not evidence of current custody or a completed sale.
