Removing the tag is ABSOLUTELY the wrong thing to do. That causes way too much suspicion with any inspector who might ever need to check the vin on the truck. As it sits it is obviously the original Vin tag on with original rivets and that is paramount to having it look pretty. That is full proof that that cab is the cab that the title goes to and that is the important thing.
