Vin # info - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

If you read my post I said vin tag. The vin on the body goes with the title. The frame and drivetrain can legally be changed. In calif this is how its done. Like I said vin tag on body is what matters. Body # must match title #. I have a 1975 and there's no smog for 1975 and back here in calif. The year on the body vin tag is the year the truck is. No ifs, ands or buts about it. If the title you have doesnt match you could be arrested for driving a stolen truck. Or the person who has the correct title can take the truck any time they please. Make sure the title matches the cab perfectly. If not it could cause you big problems down the road. Dont say you werent warned. I am an advanced emissions technician so i should know.

Well just to clarify the vin on the body does match the vin on the title but the title says the truck is a 73'

Since the body VIN and the title agree and it would be pre-smog even as a 75 I say no harm no foul. Save the headache, time and money of trying to correct a typo on the year box of the title. It makes no difference.

Agreed. Sounds like the DMV may have screwed up.
