Hey, thanks for all the replys... The VIN on the out of state title is 6DPJ4219 which I found in my research to mean it was assembled in Oakland, CA(it returns to its roots)in October. I hate to lose this VIN for future owners. DMV tells me that if I take the truck to the California Highway Patrol (that's where they say we now have to go for inspection since the VIN tag is missing) they will assign a new number. By the way, this thing is a bear to drive...drifts all over the road. Has a 261 CI engine and 355 rear-end, but I'll be d...'d if I would try to control it at 60-65 mph!
