fumblin46, good joke, i did get the vin #, but was treated like crap from the officer. he had no people skills and was a bad representitive of a chp officer. but i kept my calm and got what i needed from him. it just sucks when you have to bow down to someone who has the power and authority to give you what you need. and he didnt give me a sandwich.

rumplemtz, out here in california the chp only lets you take your vehicle to the area you have it registerd to. they say that is to keep people from shopping different inspectors. i had to change my address so i could take it to one close to where i am building my truck. but i was told buy an chp inspector that technicaly any office has to look at it, but you have to make a fuss and complain to get them to give you an appointment. i just went the safe route and did the address change.

39AZ 3/4ton, i had the vin plate on the cowel, but my truck was vined off the original engine number. my truck had an engine replacement so therefore i had no numbers on the truck to match the title other than the licence plate number. now i have a completly new vin number on a plate rivited on the drivers side door cab edge. im just glad to have it, so i didnt have to scrap my project.
