So I have figured out my truck is most likely a 1942 1/2 ton. There appears to be a hand-made VIN stamped on the frame with 1942 stamped underneath it. The actual VIN number appears to have been assigned at some point to register the vehicle in the past. The original serial number is missing and I have no title. I am having trouble getting it registered, New Mexico pretty much says I am out of luck.

So I thought about using a titled chassis, perhaps an S-10 and swapping the body over. I want a cool looking daily driver and not so much interested in a total restoration. Well, I have come across a free '96 S-10 but it is a 4x4, could I swap my '42 body over on top of the 4x4 chassis?

Thanks, Rob
