Generally speaking, a rule of thumb is that humans outside the GM plant that built it should never touch a rosette rivet.
So there is a vin number stamped on the frame as well. Is that not an issue when anyone replaces a cab and the two vins don't match? I've seen many repo or redone cabs with no vin tags. I know this has been discussed to death here but I did lots of research before hand as well as calling the DMV. They said it depends on the age of the truck, it's titled category , and what it's being used for. My original vin tag and my frame stamp are all original and match. The only thing that was replaced was the cab....not sure what the other guy's intent was with the rusted out cab he bought from me, that's his deal. I did my homework and I'm good. I suppose I'll answer my own question here and just get a couple rosette rivets and fill the extra set of holes.
