Re: Title for a project
If you're swapping a cab for a better one, it's preferable to have the VIN that matches the frame and title to swap the new cab on (as in a legal truck you own.) That's perfectly legal in most states because you're replacing a bad part with a good one, the VIN just happens to be attached to it. This has been discussed over and over many times on a mustang forum I'm on because a lot of first gen mustangs have fender apron rot and you have to replace the fender apron with aftermarket metal, it's completely legal to cut off YOUR VIN and weld it back on.
Buying a VIN to put on a vehicle is where it get's illegal. Which is what your situation sounds like, not saying you're trying to do that. Piecing a truck together then buying a VIN and title for it are illegal. I would say your most "legal" option is to buy a decent parts truck with a good frame and VIN/Title and use your good cab on that.
