I would not even began building a truck unless I had it had a VIN tag. There have been true horror stories about people restoring vehicles only to find out they were stolen and have them seized and returned to the owner it was stolen from - no matter how much money you put into it. You could check to see if you're truck is correct by checking the VIN # on frame, but I'd still want the tag and would wonder why its gone. Just my nickel's worth of free advice...
I have checked the frame to the title. It is good. I guess who ever the last body man was a short bus rider from the best I can tell. I would rather have the tag to but I have all of the paper work so I am good with what I have as long as what you say is true about the frame.
