SERE, no its not illegal, he did not say buy this and go rivet it to a lost or salvage titled truck.
If you collect 67-72 trucks and parts its just another part and document for your collection.
But after you buy the vin plate, clean matching title & the build sheet, you can rivet it to a lost or salvage titled truck and no one will ever no

its only illegal if you get caught plus what people dont know wont hurt em as long as it isnt a stolen truck theres nothing wrong with using a diff vin and title at least my eyes

SERE · 11-07-2004, 04:01 AM

True! I didn't think about that! Cool!

elk hunter · 11-07-2004, 05:14 PM

i can understand why someone would need to buy it. i bought a 72 from my sisters boyfriend, and during the repaint he somhow lost the vin plate. i know the truck was not stolen, but the plate would be nice to put back on the truck. what is even worse, the body is 2x4 and its on a 4x4 frame. title matches the glovebox door but not the frame. i guess as long as the truck doesnt need to be titled in a different state nobody looks at the #s on the frame huh?

Longhorn Man · 11-07-2004, 05:16 PM

I've never had anyone look at the frame for anything at all...and that's been titling 3 trucks from out of state.

c-1072 · 11-07-2004, 05:27 PM

Some states look at vin numbers on the frame for salvage purposes

cableguy0 · 11-07-2004, 06:00 PM

well theres no reason to salage a truck ur titling the new title fixes that prob for ya. say ya went to the junkyard bought a truck that was in good shape but had a blown up motor it would have a salvage title. you buy a title and vin just like the one above and switch em out. nobody ever knows and you win. takes lots of hassle out of it

**burb71** · 11-07-2004, 08:26 PM

Cableguy0 is so right,
As much as we on the board buy, sell & trade parts.
As well as build up and tear down these trucks,
I think that it's a great loss to this hobby when a clean vin plate goes to the scrap yard and the title, build sheet & original bill of sale goes in the trash.
None of us would ever send one of these trucks to the scrap yard with a good set of buckets & console in it, or a working tach dash or GM 8 track.
So we should also keep a clean vin plate with title & documentation.
