Shod: I bought my 1948 3100 in 1978 in southern Illinois. It had a legitimate Illinois title listing it as a 1948 truck. “3EP-H13136” which if you decode it is a St. Louis truck but a 1947 model. (Thank goodness it wasn’t titled with an engine number). At some point I inspected the medal vin tag at the driver’s door and surprise: “3FP-H13136”…..1948! Apparently somehow, before I bought it, the VIN got screwed up with the Illinois DMV/title. Fast forward 10-20 years later and I’m living in Missouri and painfully, slowly am resto-modding the truck and I figure I better eventually get a Missouri title for it. Missouri had a process whereby you could submit a form to have your vehicle inspected by the County PD for a title/VIN/mileage issue. A County PD Motorcycle Cop came to my address, and confirmed the error on the Illinois title vs the VIN tag. Before he completes his paperwork (Peggy, you’ll love this….) he asks me what the odometer mileage is. I’m an honest guy so I show him the speedo gage on my workbench that I’d just rebuilt and that I’d reset the odometer to “00000.00”. He says “No problem, Sir. Nice job, have a nice day.” I then took my copy of his paperwork to the DMV and a few weeks later my Missouri title shows up with the correct VIN/MY info and 00000.00 for the odometer info. Fast forward to 2016 and now I’m retired in Texas, and finally driving Old Blu. One of the first things I did as a Tx resident was to get all of my vehicles titled in Texas. Shod, my question to you is, can’t you somehow get your title changed to reflect the VIN tag on the driver’s door? Have you done any research? And Shod, I’ve included a pic of where I put the metal registration tag on my 1948 plates. Good luck, Dave
