By saying you have the paperwork, does that include the title?? If so, does the title VIN match the data plate VIN?? If it does, then what's the problem? Mount the data plate on the truck (front inside driver's door piller -- you should see two holes that match the holes in the plate).

If you don't have a title to match the data plate, then check around -- you can probably find a title and matched dataplate off a junked or parted-out truck.

I believe Rusty Rod faced a similar issue there in California -- he, or the other Californians should be able to advise you on the DMV wickets.

Good luck!
