That does him no good as he has a GMC with a different tag on it.

His door post tag should read like this one.

Still the states are getting very strict about altered vin tags. even if they are old GM truck door post tags that it was the norm to remove to paint the truck back in the day. The inspectors here who are closer to Nvrdone than me by about ten miles go over vehicles they inspect on a hoist in a closed room and from experience can tell you things about your vehicle that you never knew.


It was snowing sloppy wet snow today so I didn't get out to check my frame for a stamped serial number.
