Vin missing

[robert_63]

I have a question hope someone can help. I recently purchased a 63 swb chevy. Everything is on the up and up the truck has never been tampered with and i did get a title one problem the man i got it from had his teenage sone helpin him piddle with it takin it apart doors seats dash and so on and let him scrape and rattle can the interior. The truck has sat for about 8 years and now we discovered his son roved the vin off the door pillar. So im stuck his son is in jail and in his early 20's and has no idea what he did with the tag. Now im stuck i dont wanna build it then have it takin away

Take it to the DPS, you have the title right? look on the fram right below the brake MC, there is another set of numbers there, it will be the last 8 of the VIN I believe.

If that is all correct, you have the title, talk to the TX DMV and tell them you want another VIN for it, they can help you.

Also have the PO write a statement as to his ownership of the truck, dates etc, also get that notarized.

X2...there is also the stamp along the frame rail under the cab just in case.

there is also a vin riveted to the floor at the the corner where the firewall and footwell meet, I cant remember which side but I think its the passenger side. its a little block of metal with rounded edges and the VIN stamped in. Could be later trucks, but its on my 65.

There is only 3 places on a 60-66 chevy that the vin appear 2 places on the left frame rail and left side of door opening on cab

Thanks for all the info the tag is definetly gone i can see the rivet holes and here is no stamping under the hood near the control arm while removing the front clip this weekend i noticed the frame has been broken and welded betwen steerin box and control arm and the frame is actually welded to the crossmember in one spot. I bought this truck from a friend he isnt a car guy so i dont think he actually culd have known what a turd he was sellin it still has potential if i culd just get a titled cab or tag. On yeah and i think its a 62 not 63 judging by the grill and the large x shaped brace in the frame. Inhavent seem any 63's pics with this frame brace. Sux to b on a budget amd find out u waisted ur money .
