Help with CA DMV VIN verification form
 

OK guys, for my 1963 C50 I am filling out a Calif DMV “Verification of Vehicle” form, it is asking how the VIN is attached. Who can tell me how they are attached on our old trucks, as I can’t tell for sure. The options are:
Not Visible
Rosette Rivets
Round Rivets
Other:______
Adhesive
Not Applicable
Screws
Stamped

Here is a photo of the VIN plate, it really does not have any rivet per se, just a stamped dimple if you will on each side, so does anyone know the correct option for attachment to the door post? I don’t want to make yet another fruitless trip to the DMV office!

Welded.

The best kind of attachment.

Awesome! Thanks for quick reply. I will choose “other” and write in “factory weld”

Re: Help with CA DMV VIN verification form
 

Hold on, didn't different years have different rivets and differed with Canada. And I may have heard about GMC models may have welded. This may be a trick question through the DMV as I'm sure they have records.

Yes - but that one is welded.

Thanks for this info, I do believe this truck VIN has not been tampered with as my neighbor was original owner so pretty confident the DMV will pass it on through. They just need a cop to verify it and the choices on the form did not seem to match the actual situation. I will post the results once I get to the DMV…I am afraid there will be 20 years of fees for non payment of registration so wish me luck at talking my way out of it!

Your vin is attached the same way as my 63, and I know mine hasn't been tampered with. My cab vin still matches the partial frame vin.

Spot welded to be more specific.
