I am not sure which it is. I need to know where the data plate is located and what information is on it and how it appears. I hear people talking about their truck being manufactured in a certain plant during a certain month, etc. I need to know what I have. I understand that there is an alphs designation for 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, etc. I think the alpha designation is FP. Can someone help? Thanks! :confused: | | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | The VIN plate is located in the forward door pillar on the driver side. Typically it is missing. If you have a title you can get a replacement plate through one of the parts houses and stamp the VIN back in.
Lacking a title and a vin plate the only option for registering your truck (in most states) is to go through a title hearing and get an assigned VIN. I am having to do that for my 54.
Other options are the purchase of a title from another truck (technically illegal), or find the engine number and use that as the VIN number and get a title through one of the out-of-state title companys such as broadway title. That will cost about $150 for your truck.
Good luck | | |
