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

So, I purchased a truck from a guy about 10yrs ago and titled it. I didnt have the truck with me when I went to the BMV so they didn't do an inspection. Come to find out, the title I was given has a VIN that doesn't match the VIN tag on the truck.

Spoke with the BMV, lady said just have a cop come out and fill out Indiana state form 39530 and mail it in to get a new title with the correct VIN. So I did that and went to mail it in. Low and behold, I didn't know the address to send it to. Called back and am now told I have to apply for a completely new VIN and can no longer use the metal door placard riveted to the cab.

Personally, I don't want to replace that metal placard with a cheesy sticker. Anyone have to deal with this before?
