What if I have a truck i was restoring and replacing the cab and lost the original vin plate but have the original title that matches the frame, is there anywhere I can get a repo. vin plate like the original? I know I can title off the frame numbers, and I could also have the highway patrol do a inspect and attach thier own vin but I would like it like the original.

well you can try and save a plate from another truck and iron out the numbers. That is the only thing I can think of right now

Where is the VIN plate located on the cab? I've been lookin'. Haven't found anywhere except option sheet and door.

On the inside, of drivers door, right by the lock striker, on a stamped metal plate that's riveted to the body.

I'm in trouble right now over this. The previous owner had removed the vin plate and re-attached it, so I failed inspection. Now I am at the state's mercy and will probably have to go to court to get a new vin plate attached by the hi-po. I've seen places on-line that sell the blank plates, but they can land you in jail. Stick with the hi-po plate, it will put an end to some future headaches.
