Titles and reality. 1966 C10 - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have seen some vehicles in the past that look like they were titled based off the MSO date of manufacture for what ever reason when they were sold. This may be one of them.

The reason I said to find a vehicle verifyer is that he can fill out a form stating a VIN correction and the DMV will correct the VIN.
I have done it. I also had a 40 Ford Coupe I owned that needed it done.
Some car dealerships have a guy licensed as such.

As a vehicle verifyer you quickly realize that the DMV workers have never read the California DMV code book. Seriously.

I have a 62 with torsion bars and the x frame but it is registered as a 63. It also has the 63 grill and emblems.

Well I gave you the answer to fix the title.

I have to go into the DMV, they do not have any forms on line. Once I have the forms I can have a CHP officer verify the VIN and a new title can be created.

Thank you for your advice. I followed it as soon as you posted it.

Robert, have you checked the VIN on the frame to make sure it matches the cab?

It is pretty grimy and I would need to get in there and root around pretty hard.

I am sure it will match. the Truck came from a member of the family. I trust him and his brothers completely.

That would be the final thing I would verify. Otherwise, get the documentation corrected and start calling it a 66. 😊

It looks like you can find the frame VIN on the driver's side frame just in front of the engine stand.

post 31 says it matches.

Looks like a DMV error, and that can be corrected.
