VIN Question
Anyone ever seen a VIN like this? 8PG1579E. I recently acquired a 1964 Chevy with that VIN and have never seen one like it. The title and truck numbers match, but the title says 1963 GMC. The cab is 64-66 Chevy, it has coil spring rear, and the e-brake is not the updated 66 style.

Re: VIN Question
No, I've never seen a VIN like that. Is the VIN tag on the cab original or possibly a VIN issued by a state for a reconstructed vehicle? Is the VIN on the frame the same?
Pictures would be a bonus.

Re: VIN Question
It's definitely not a factory VIN plate, but it is in the proper location in the door jamb. I'm not sure if it matches the frame number, though I highly doubt it does.

Re: VIN Question
Yeah, someone made that themselves. The only part of that, that makes any sense for a GMC is the P for the Pontiac plant and G for 1963. Are you going to have to have a VIN inspection on this truck to be able to transfer the title and license it?

Re: VIN Question
Luckily, no. It had a Utah title and the numbers matched. I registered it last week and didn't ask questions at the DMV.

Re: VIN Question
I don't know if I would spend a ton of money on something like that. Looks like a home made tag even. That would be a tough sell down the road and would scare people away.

Re: VIN Question
I agree.

The other option would be to contact your local state police motor vehicle investigator and see what they say about issuing you a reconstructed vehicle title. But be careful going that route as it could backfire on you.

Re: VIN Question
As it is now, the truck is titled and registered to me. The DMV didn't ask any questions as it was already a Utah title. I don't plan on putting much money into it as it's just a beater/parts hauler.
