A separate cropped paper beside the GM plate includes VEHICLE CERTIFICATION and INTERMEDIATE CERTIFICATION wording about altered lamps/reflective or associated equipment, with limitations. Its full identifier, complete date and complete issuer name are held. Visible fragments include …TRUCK EQUIPMENT SALES COMPANY and …AGO, ILLINOIS; they do not establish a complete body-builder attribution or installation date.

Open questions

Recover the complete equipment paper to establish its full identifier, date and issuer, without inferring a regulatory category or completed-vehicle status from the cropped wording. Establish manufacture date, original trim/options, body installation history, present powertrain identity, artifact authenticity, later custody and lifetime mileage. Preserve the shorter catalog alias separately from the photographed VIN.

Physical identity and catalog discrepancy

VanDerBrink lot 510M is described as a 1976 Chevrolet C30 service truck. Its original auction photo 7 clearly shows CCS336J173091 on a GM metal identification/rating plate. Independent selected-image review confirms the full VIN, GVWR 10,000 lb, front GAWR 3,800 lb and rear GAWR 7,500 lb.

The published auction-results row uses the shorter string CCS36J173091. The photographed plate supplies the additional 3; the shorter catalog string is retained as a source transcription alias, not treated as another vehicle or silently adopted as the physical VIN. No manufacture-date field or full federal-conformity declaration is visible on the GM plate. Its historical ratings do not establish present safe capacity, authenticity or original installation.

Separate cropped equipment paper

A paper beside the metal plate is partly outside the frame. Visible headings include VEHICLE CERTIFICATION and INTERMEDIATE CERTIFICATION. Its text discusses altered lamps, reflective or associated equipment and limits what its statement implies. Only issuer/location fragments, including …TRUCK EQUIPMENT SALES COMPANY and …AGO, ILLINOIS, are visible; a complete company name is not supplied.

The paper’s complete identifier and date cannot be independently read. It is not a second complete VIN match, a dated GM manufacture label, or proof of the service body’s builder and installation date. No regulatory classification, completed-vehicle status or present compliance finding is inferred from the cropped wording.

Auction appearance and limits

The lot page places this appearance in the closed July 28, 2025 auction at Box Elder, Montana. The auction’s published results list $15,125 in the SOLD column for lot 510m. This records the reported auction result; the hammer/fee split, payment and delivery are not independently verified. The photographs show a blue truck with a service body, without establishing the body’s original installation or current custody and condition.

All 12 exposed original auction stills were screened, with photo 7 examined at full resolution. No readable SPID, buildsheet, invoice or order form was identified in the set. No video was assessed. The lot page, gallery and results document belong to one auction source family. Original trim/options, installed-powertrain identity, full equipment-paper text and issuer, manufacture date, artifact authenticity, lifetime mileage and later history remain unresolved. No source images, private owner details or contact information are reproduced.
