Vin plate issues/questions

[jsmithbm]

Hey Guys, I was curious if any of you have had problems registering your trucks when the vin plate is missing. When i bought my truck it did not have the door plate. The one on the glove box door is there, but its a paper sticker. Granted it has held up for 40 years butttttttt...... Its there a place that makes new vin plates or something you can affix to the door jamb?
And i have thought about getting one from a JY however that could pose problems. One they wont sell you just the plate they want you to buy the whole truck.

What I would probably do is go the Department of Motor Vehicles in your state and ask this question. You might have to go to the highway Patrol and get a new VIN issued.

be prepaired to jump through some hoops, and be able to answer questions like
where did you buy it
from whom did you buy it
did you get a title
is the cab original
does the VIN in the SPID match the frame
if there is a title, does it match the frame and SPID
Be prepaired to document all of this... and do it in triplicate... and keep a copy of everything for yourself.
The state is your only LEGAL way of getting this fixed.
