'72 Chevy K20 - Big Red

Looks like a good project! reminds me of a few I've had. If your title VIN decodes to a 2wd, and the cab plate is gone, you might have troubles licensing it. Do you have to go thru a title/ vehicle inspection? If so, they may want to see the frame VIN to verify, which isn't going to fly either since their is no way it is going to match up to the 2wd title. I had a friend go thru this, they confiscated his truck assuming it was stolen. Since all he had was a title to another truck, he had no way to prove them wrong. It went to the scrapper and he lost all the money spent on it.

I strongly urge you to check into this before spending a dollar on it, or taking it in for inspection- or you may walk away with nothing. If you bought it being represented with a clear title, I would consider telling the seller that you need the correct title & VIN plate, or you want a refund. The sooner you do this the better. If he refuses, tell him you are going to to the police.
