? about reconstructed titles

[vintagesteel]

I assummed you meant on the door. I have a 75 parts truck and never paid attention to where the vin was. As far as being able to buy the rivets, I think it is illegal to sell them. and as far as I know the only place they can be gotten is from the factory. I knew a guy that worked for ford and the had "acquired" some but had to SMUGGLE them out. I would epoxy it on and be done.You would think if you could buy the rivets", everybody would sell them. Just makes it to easy to steal vehicles and swap vins. If all the other vin's are the same they have no reason to question.

i did the same exact swap on my 76 chevy with an 82 cab ( the same styles..) what i did was i cut the vin tag out of the 82 cab .. its just two rivets holding it in.. and i took a wire cutter and chopped em out.. i sprayed my cab the color i wanted before i reinstalled it on the frame and that covered the area where the original vin tag was then i measured where the vin tag was suppoused to be from the 76 cab. i very carefully drilled out the hole in the rivets so it popped off clean and then i matched it up on the new cab and drilled holes. i put a dab of silicone on the back of the 76 vin plate and laid it in position.. i took some small rivets and riveted it on.. i then took an old dirty rag and ribbed it over the vin tag and rivets making it look like it bad been there for ages and noone ever bothered me as long as i owned the truck
i did keep the old vin tag and title for the 82 truck and eventually after i got rid of the 76 i threw em both out
Im not saying what i did was legal or right but hey it worked and its past the statute of limitations anyway

James i make them ride in the tool box...when i had the other truck id just let em ride in the back like this
