Frame Swaps

[GmtGmt]

I was drowling over a build and owner of the truck RandyP
posted some things of a frame swap they where doing for a guy cause the truck got damaged but was very low millage truck so the owner wanted it repaired. A member posted that he loved frame swaps, but its not done anymore because some rule changed in insurence companies so if the frames damaged its a write off.

this got me thinking. I know my truck has had somekind of front end and passenger side damage. When looking at my truck it looks like it has gotten a newer bed and front clip as it does not have any rust at all but the cab and doors are completly gone.



When i tore it down we noticed that the frame was in very good condition, still with lots of the fatory paint on it and you would not think that this was under the old cab. we where looking for the VIN on the frame because we had feeling that it might not was the real VIN in the cab but it was.
we noticed there was 2 VIN number punched into the frame Rail both the same VIN but it looked like someone didnt like it the first time and made a second.

Dosen this sound like a Case where the truck had been damaged and had a New Frame?
I did not have a US Title so i dont know about the had a salvaged title or not
