Re: This part fell off my truck, tips for reattaching?!
I saw the rivets too. They looked pretty good to me. The guy and his wife left early and I caught them just as they were leaving and said goodbye but I don't remember the name....

Re: This part fell off my truck, tips for reattaching?!
i have titled, registered, inspected 3 vehicles here in Missouri(two where 67-72s), and they haven't even so much as looked at the vins more than to get the number off of it. And on the two trucks they just asked me to tell them the vin. So im going to go with if your dmvs guys are asses, better do it right. Otherwise 1.96 rivits it is

Re: This part fell off my truck, tips for reattaching?!
A question on the same subject but a bit off topic. When you guys strip your cabs, whether it be by blasting or chemically stripping it, do you remove your VIN plate to keep from damaging it?

Re: This part fell off my truck, tips for reattaching?!
Trim the back of the rivets carefully (saving the factory heads and the part that exxtends through the plate. Next take a good urethane windhield caulk and set the plate back onto your door jamb, along with the old rivets still in the plate. Make the adhesive thin, so that it sticks but does not hold the plate out from the panel. Of course, I never have done this, and this entry will self destruct in i5 seconds after you read it.
I purchased some new rivets on Evil Bay, but that outlet has been closed. |

Top of the left front frame rail. Kind of between the steering box and the control arm.

Re: This part fell off my truck, tips for reattaching?!
My experience is that the DMV inspectors (at least here in CT) dont know the difference between the right 37 yr old rivit and the wrong one. I wouldnt worry, but thats me.
