I just went through this with my 77. The DMV refused to approve because only had original VIN plate and they said I needed two. I could not find another anywhere on the truck.

I took it to the CHP and the guy walks outside to look at it, stares at the vin plate for a few seconds and says it looks original. That's it. NO hassle, no gripes, no nothing. EASY.

The DMV in CA is soooo on top of things.....


So the moral of the story is make your appointment at the CHP and let them deal with it since its their rule. Believe me, they will sign your release no issue.

One thing though...i had to wait 3 months for an appointment with th CHP when i called. When I went to the location, there was NO ONE in sight. The office was dead with two nice officers waiting for something to do. TALK ABOUT process.
