Would be pretty cool to see the DMV lady crawling on all 4's looking for the frame VIN.
Are there actually states out there that will not issue a title unless they confirm that paper title, matches cab, matches frame?

The VIN & Title might match, but they wont match what the person actually sees. That's the point lol If I take my '72 K10 LWB Titled truck to get inspected but it really looks like a '68 1/2T SWB the inspector and insurance agent is going to question me lol If I got into an accident they'd really wonder and my premiums were actually based on what the VIN/Title states not what the truck actually is so it could then be void. In my area we don't mess around unless it's done 100% with the DMV.
And yes the frame numbers can and will be checked if anything seems off. I work in the fraud investigation business and lots of stuff gets looked at that some people don't even think of.
