VIN plate / tag replacement or getting one recreated Az Resident

Hello Everyone,

So to start off this crazy discussion I have seen one post off a google search on this forum that wasnt helpful at all. No one seems to know the answer and I figure if I get a few smart heads together we can start helping everyone down the road that neeeeeds VIN Plate replacements.

I bought a 1969 Chevy c10 base truck with mods, and yes it is missing the VIN plate which is in the inside driver door jam. Has the bottom plate, but missing the VIN Plate.

Yes I know you should'nt buy a vehicle missing the VIN plate (The Arizona title I have and the VIN number matches the Number on the frame by the power steering pump) SO Im in good shape there. Could be a different cab, I dont think is though.

Prev owner of the last 10 years said That is the way he bought it and doesnt have the prev owners info before he owned to try to figure out the when what & why...bummer

SO THE QUESTION IS?????

Does anyone know of a place, that -------- makes or recreates these VIN plates?

Here is what I have already went through on research I was doing...

Already called GM heritage with nothing but transfers and other numbers to guys that dont have a clue. No help there and I have called a bunch of people.

Called DATA TAGS off datatags.com and they are only doing passanger vehicles. Gentleman I spoke with said he would of never thought to get the rights to do the trucks as no one wanted them back in the day, but today everybody wants the SWB trucks. Maybe int he future he will start doing them. Not sure. I might be calling this guy back to start asking questions of when he might start doing it?

I have a small knowledge of guys that have went down and had there truck inspected by the police or a level III inspection as they check or dont check and validate your truck to issue you???? I guess a stick on VIN tag?

Maybe I can get a couple of you guys higher up on this site to help me out with this. The bonus is there are a lot of guys redoing these truck and some truck are missing the VIN plates or they're worn or rusted off or the rivots wore out from abuse whatever the case may be this is a big business for all these c10 that are starting to sell today.

Sorry if this is or was repetitive, but there is no solution yet???

I work from home and have plenty of time to help research were I can to help.

I will start posting pictures of my progress of my C10 soon as You will enjoy!
