Re: Salvage Title?

If you end up rebuilding the truck, its not realy a vin swap. If you say bought a frame with a title and then put the body from a salvaged truck on it, as long as you use the non salvaged vin its just putting together an old truck.
IMO any way. now if you take your salvaged truck and put a different vin on it as is that is illigal in most states. I can see why, I wouldnt want to buy a salvaged unibody car that some on did a vin swap on. but on these trucks, they are usaly totaled because the insurance does not see thenm as worth much. If you look at it from the other way, lets sai you had a clean title truck that needed a new cab because it is rusted out, you buy one from a totaled truck that had a good cab, dose this now make your truck salvaged?
I dont think so, are trucks are so old that most of them are pieced together ant way, if it was a new car that would be considerd salvaged. Ok I think I am done rambling......
