p.s. glad to hear your truck is ok. Time to put a heater core in it huh???

Yeah no heat sucks, the water lines that go to the core are there but disconnected I’m going to see if the core is functional if not I’ll replace it.
But I have a question, my cab is a no ac cab, what would be better replacing the cab again to an ac cab or buying all the parts from a junkyard?

I picked up a cab off craigslist and it came with the title. So I figure, since I have both titles in my name, my trucks and the cabs, that I could do a cab swap and not have to worry about a VIN swap sonce I have titles with both VINs on it. I believe that if you wanted to switch the VIN numbers from your old cab to the new on you have to take it to the MVD and have it inspected.

     I would think if California is letting you swap vin numbers, it should not be that hard in other states.  As long as you got paperwork on both trucks and nothing comes up stolen, here you just need to take it all to the DMV and they will give you a new vin.

there are proper steps to be taken before you attempt this first both vehicles have to be inspected to make sure the vins belong to said trucks this is to be done by state police i dont know for sure havnt done this but this step for some reason i remember reading about. but contact your dmv then they will tell you how to get a hold of the state police. and go from there but i know they have to inspect it before you attempt to do anything. same is said if you just want to remove the vin because the dash is to rusted out or even dodges where putting the vin right in the dash pad. but this was for vehicle restoration purposes
