Welcome. As Mongocanfly said, 17 digit VINS did not come into play until '81. Serial numbers, or frame numbers (on some really old cars and trucks), were used. If the serial # on the title matches the serial # on the plate on the driver's door post, there should be no issues. I can't speak for your state, but just because it hasn't been registered in that many years does not necessarily mean it needs a weight slip. The truck was most likely taken out of the register system many years ago. Have you contacted your local DMV office and asked them these questions?
