Re: I'm disappointed in the direction this forum is headed

I know that Liz is monitoring this thread, and I won't step on her toes at all. However, I have a background in VINs, so allow me to clear up a couple of your statements. My responses are in between you sentences, sorry I can't figure out how to use color.

I would be more than happy to delete the vin picture and comments but wasn't given a chance and got no response from the moderator after contacting him.

If you purchased the vehicle that way and went through the police inspection process they didn't find anything wrong with your vehicle. That's great!!!


I guess you will have to question every member on this forum that has done a cab swap and put the original vin on the replacement cab

This is flat out illegal. You cannot swap one VIN plate onto another vehicle. The VIN plate always goes with the cab that is replacing the one the owner removed. In other words putting the original VIN on the replacement cab is something that should not be done.

or removed their vin plate for paint or had their vin plate replaced and restamped with a reproduction vin plate so that their thread can be closed also.

In some cases a VIN plate can be removed for restoration purposes. One would need to check with their local law enforcement agency to find out the particulars of what needs to be done in order to do that. Same goes for reproducing a VIN plate, check with you DMV office and/or local or state police. Many threads are closed due to talk of VIN swapping and altering.
