VIN troubles - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys,

Just bought a 1985 (Chevrolet?) K10, and I'm having a hard time figuring out this issue:

The truck has all Chevrolet badges, but the VIN on the dash and on the title shows it as being a 1985 GMC K10. The cab trim that goes around the back depicts it as a Chevy, all the panel badges depict it as a Silverado and even the dash emblem depicts it as a Silverado. The emblems look to be factory applied, as well as factory paint.

My first thought is that someone REALLY wanted a Silverado, but who would go to those lengths having to change all the badges?

My second thought is that it could be a rebuilt title or a salvaged title, but haven't had any experience dealing with that kind of thing, so I wouldn't know where else to look besides the title, and it doesn't say it on the title.

Any clues?
