VIN Woes...shackle covering # Fixed...got my blue tag!!!
Oh man...California registration!!! What a hassle...I spent 2 hours at CHP today trying to get a new Blue Tag VIN# issued....someone did an old school reverse shackle setup and welded over part of the frame stamp on the front....they pulled all but 3 #'s and still wont give me the new # until I can show another stamp or uncover the remaining #'s:>(
FYI..2F is gone..Chevy 327 in there now and a T350 so those are out
Next step is cutting back part of the welded plate to expose the last two #'s...but before that..... I wanted to see the exact locations of any other possible VIN# stamps so I might be able to "uncover" any other locations...I read on the forum there should be others under the battery tray area and also on the drivers side door or door jam? I can't find either.......any other #'s I can cross reference???...he said if i can match anything major like transfer case, axle, diff etc and he pass it....any and all help is appreciated...otherwise it's Dremel time
