Weird Vin tag
Going to see a 64 c10 half ton pickup that's for sale. Guy shows photo of title with only 11 characters. Then shows Vin plate that looks nothing like the thin ones I've seen that start with 4c. Any thoughts on this..see attached of what he sent. Vin looks like it starts with 1403M...

Re: Weird Vin tag
It's possible that the truck has a reassigned vin plate from a rebuilt title. It will say on the title if it is rebuilt or not. If the title and vin plate don't match I would stay away from it.

Re: Weird Vin tag
Says it was a truck brough to mexico..so it's a Mexico vin. They then brought it back to us.paid taxes..and got USA title. Does that matter? Tag matches title exactly. But from a resale standpoint. .I envision an issue

Re: Weird Vin tag
I'd imagine you'll run into the same issue selling it that you're discussing right now. Some won't care, but it will shrink the buyer pool. Sounds like it's legit and legal, if it's a good deal - it's your call. I'd have second thoughts - but I'd still go look at it. If you fall in love with it, who cares about its history as long as it's legal.

Re: Weird Vin tag
To me the vin looks like it starts with 14C.
The 14C looks like the C in CHEVROLET. |

Re: Weird Vin tag
Not sure if it helps at all, but I had to register my truck after realizing it didn't have a vin attached in the cab any longer.... I ended up going to CA DMV, and they riveted on a new plate.
Anyways, they also stamped it, which looks like yours was done as well - I would guess that whatever it is, is probably legit. For sure doubt that it would be caught by anyone at the DMV as being different than stock, but if you were worried about it, I would assume that you could go get it inspected and re-stamped at your state DMV (more stories to tell!) |
