Welcome to the board from South Mississippi! Click on the Index thread link in my sig for lots of good info. However most of it was written for 67-72 trucks. The guys on this board should be able to tell you what you can use and what won't work.

Jerry, Why is it that the GMC can not be regestered? Seems to me that regestering the GMC is the easier route.

Shorty

take the cab and front end of the chevy and put on the gmc frame and use the chevy title

x2 no brainer.

but isn't there vin numbers on the gmc frame?

and if you can actually see them you have the cleanest frame known to man.




i wouldnt worry about it as per no one will ever get under it to check. if it still bothers you fill it in with weld a grind it smooth, or bondo and paint it. unless you are building it for pure authenticity i wouldnt sweat it.

Thats what I'm talking about!!:lol:

you have to be very very careful with the plate and rivits, but hell its not like you cant.

haha funny **** i might end up doing that...

where are the vin# on the frame at or is this one of those things i will have to find

On the late model (67-72) it's supposed to be on the drivers side between the cab and steering box (don't know, I've not found mine yet).

In my state anyway, all their worried about is whats on title. I have bought a few trucks, and never had any problem.

alright thanx u guys because that is gonna save me alot of stuff to do.

Really the only time you would have any trouble with vin # 's is if you have an accident and the insurance company wants to make sure they are paying for the right car/truck.. I dought you will be having that trouble,. And if you look real hard you can find the vin stamped into the frame by the left motormount.. It is on top.. I have seen mine but then again I have sandblasted the frame also...

Mines on the drivers side between the cab and steering box,if you turn the wheels all the way to the left you can see it, about mid frame, you know ,so they don't get thier suits dirty
haha
