I trailered my '34 many hours for the chp to look at. I had to have an appointment set up a month in advance. I was alittle jumpy considering all my investment in the registering of this truck. As it turned out they were kind of glad and interested to see the old truck. They looked at all my papers and asked quite a few questions pertaining to the nmbers and plates. I had brought my original engine with the vin numbers just in case= although they didn't seem that interested in it. Ended up they used the numbers on my new engine and made a new id plate as well as stamped the frame. Went smooth --then just a hour wait in the dmv line and I had my ticket to ride! This truck hadn;t been registered in 20 years and in a midwest state and had changed owners several times hence all the trouble. Not to mention my plate on the firewall numbers had no bearing on the illinois vin. So I am back to adjusting and tuning and doing small projects on it--a good place to be--It made a trip to the store and back so I guess it is a bonified useful object again.
