Re: '72 C10. Or is it?

My 69 truck has been registered 3 times (TX, CO, TX, NJ) since I bought it in 1989. And I've never had anyone at the DMV physically look at it.

My favorite was a 55 Chevy that used a stamped number on the engine block as the VIN number on the title. And that number was not the same as the actual VIN number on the door jamb tag! That was apparently a Texas-only thing up through 1955. It's caused a lot of headaches for a lot of guys whose cars no longer had the original engines.
