[Grumpy old man]

Franken truck . many states still have dot inspections and many do not have any type of inspections I have bare cabs with INTACT vin plates that were issued titles/registrations and tags here in Tn and no one ever looked at anything or ever will . In a state with no dot inspection when did you ever hear of a dot employee checking anything on any vehicle past the top of their desk ? Never happens .Up until recently you could walk in one of the small dot offices here with bill of sale written in pencil on an envelope from joe baloney and they would issue you a title
