We were making SPIDs before there was an internet. The SPID is of no concern to the DMV, but it (original one) certainly is proof of what that vehicle is/was from factory...if the info matches the VIN-plate that you admit is important. It has the same VIN as the VIN-plate, the model#, and Wheelbase. It's a silly way to verify a longbed was shortened, options added or gone, Stepside or Fleetside, and even if it was a special order.
