Anyone know about my Chevy 3100 serial number?

I recently became the proud owner of an antique Chevy 3100 pickup. It has an 8-digit serial number starting with 5KRC on the plate on the pillar. I tried looking it up online but had no luck. Would anyone know any info about this pickup? I’m really curious about its history.

The year would help?

I’m trying to figure that out as well. Sorry, not real familiar. It’s between a 1947-1952 I believe.

What does the serial number tell you anyway? I’m kinda new to this.

It can help identify the year and production details. It’s super helpful for restoration stuff.

I love those old Chevys! If you can find the year, it’ll help narrow things down. Fingers crossed for you!
