vin tag

[Gilby959798]

ok I can tell that the cab on my truck has had some body work and there is a vin tag on the dash but there isnt one on the door jam... I didnt grab the title to check the vins but is there any way to get a tag to put on the door jam?

thanks

the vin location depends on what year the truck is. earlier models, around 73-75 or so, had it on the door jam and 76+ it was on the dash.

Dont move it-go ask a cop

ah i thought i was going crazy for a second... its on the dash and i saw it just didnt take the time to check it.... its cold and snowing here i just saw a thread where they were moving the vin tag to another truck... these trucks are definitely not my forte, but i will know a lot by the time im done with these couple of projects i think im going to have.... thanks beastie...

beastie, I think your off on the years...up to '78 is in the jamb originally & '79 & up is in the windshield. Lorne

thats why I said "or so"

     Hauling it is right, 79 they started putting on dash, so if you want one on the door, it should be a sticker and not metal.  Any vehicle inspection might have a problem with both metal ones.

The one in the door is a riveted plate not a sticker.
