Sup guys, got a question, I found a cab for my short frame that I had left on a parts truck I bough awhile ago, the cab was a 3/4 4x4 truck before, and if I get it will be a 1/2 short bed 2wd and probably lowered. Would it be any problems later in the future if I get pull over and check vin and see a 1/2 ton,short bed,2wd,etc,etc?

Did you get the pink slip with the 74? If you did then just register it that way and you'll be smog exempt. It shouldn't matter what frame you're on.

I haven't got the cab yet,but he has the pink for the cab, he just part it out so the only thing left its that cab, the cab it's in ok conditions and cheap, but when I get it rebuild, it won't be a 3/4 4x4 like the vin says, so hopefully there won't be any problems..I'm sure there's lots of trucks mis-match, parts from 3 or 4 different cars or trucks lol..

Are you just getting the cab and using the VIN it has and registering it?
Most people don't know that a 3/4T was only available in Long bed, and most don't care, the VIN doesn't designate the length of bed, so....
-
Ohh i see.. its just that im coverting the 3/4 cab to a total different truck and style that not sure how that work a cop if i ever get pull over and see vin on a different body and on 1/2 frame..u know....
-
As long as you own the title that matches that VIN it doesn't matter what you do to it. My 89 Blazer was a 4x4, it isn't anymore.

Ohh ok cool!! I never done this before so wasnt sure if there was some problems in the future.. now with the insurance company. The description they ask of the truck it would be the 3/4 right?
-
They would use the title/VIN to insure it.
