Vin # on Frame?

DaBaws · Jun 1, 2017

I have found a truck that had a cab replacement done, but the vin plate was not changed. .. is the vin stamoed on the frame ? The title and other papers all show the same vin# but after peaking to the current owner and the previous owner , it is obvious the wrecked cab was replaced, but the vin plate was scrapped along with the other cab... What's my next move , before buying the truck ...

So far I haven't seen any numbers stamped to the frame that could be a VIN. There is a sticker on the driver's side of the frame towards the front of the door opening. It has the last 8 digits of the VIN

Unless you plan on offroading that truck, building it into a race truck that will only see the track or a pure show truck or something along those lines, I would pass on it. Way too much headache and possible issues IMO. Having a salvage title is one thing but knowing the whole cab was replaced because of a wreck? No thanks. Who knows what else was damaged in that accident and wasn't fixed or is a lurking issue, waiting to rear it's ugly head.

Just my opinion on it.
