Re: 56 vin locations

Slammy,

You have bigger problems than not being able to find the truck in the DMV database. Here in Texas, the DPS can and will confiscate your truck if it does not have a factory affixed VIN tag, on your 56 that means it MUST be spot welded to the door jamb, not rivetted or screwed on. You need to get with the local DPS and get a state assigned VIN tag. It's a bit of a pain in the butt to do this but you don't risk loosing your ride this way. I had to go this route on a '57 panel I had a few years back. A close friend of mine is a Sgt. with the DPS in charge of vehicle theft. He's the one that set me straight on this.
