vin tag
« on: February 24, 2011, 08:56:05 pm »
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.

     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.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

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