Re: Buying an out of state truck vs moving to another state
I don’t really follow aussies point because if the partial on the frame matches the year, plant and sequence number of the cab vin then the numbers do match and you know the cab is on the original frame. sure the frame only has a partial vin but it can be decoded to match the full vin. I do agree that they may not match per say as some of the other vehicles of the time period ie. full vins for frame, body, and engine.
Any way My situation was this, I grew up in Virginia and lived there all my life until my wife and I decided to return to New Mexico where she is from. So a couple years ago we packed everything up and away we went.
New Mexico requires a vin inspection on out of state titles regardless if it is titled in your name or not. So with a quick check of the door sticker and cab vin on my Silverado and the windshield vin on my Jeep, we had New Mexico titles in hand as we left. Cab/frame vin doesn’t seem to matter here as long as the cab vin matches the title your inspection is good to go.(provided there’s nothing wrong with the vin obviously)
