:lol: I know you're kidding but a burb tag on a K5 would be WAY too easy to snuff out :D

Without doubt, you ever do something of that nature, it had better Burb to Burb and the same body style at least. You don't go putting a long bed VIN and a short bed either. Or a single cab on a crew cab etc. They better be a pretty close match. Actually best to avoid it. In OK, you can do things like this, BUT, you have to take the vehicle down for inspection, they reassign a new VIN. This is usually done if say, someone replaces a damaged cab on a truck, and the donor truck cab is from a wrecking yard. A ndw VIN gets assigned and its riveted inside the driver door post.

Ahhh, this answers one of my previous questions. That's cool. I'm pretty sure I'll never have get a new cab for the 77 but you never know :)

Swapping VIN's is an illegal option. Does it happen? Sure it does. The VIN # on these squarebodies is stamped in the frame. Its location is on top of the passenger side frame rail about directly under where the passenger would be sitting in the truck. So its not very easy to get to. OK does not inspect it either. Most states will only inspect the VIN plate in the windshiled for the reason being, door stickers can be wrong if the dirver door has been replaced with a differant truck. The cab would have to be removed to see the VIN # stamped into the frame. But here is the catch or reattaching VIN plates. You don't just use standard rivets. Rivets can change from year to year on differant models, so you better make sure you have the correct rivets. Most of the squrebody rivets I have seen and like a star shape, and you won't be able to buy those rivets. So if you feel the need to do such a thing, I think I'd carefully remove the plate and use the same rivets, which means you actually won't rivet it back on. You might have to make the holes a little larger then use some form of glue to make it permanent and hope someone does't go playing with the plate. Then again, over time, some of those rivets become loose anyway from road vibration. Kind of a bummer its illegal but it also helps cut down on auto theft, so its for our own good really. Again, I don't suggest it, but what I don't know, won't hurt me or whoever.
I know I talked play on that, but I would never do that ****, rest assure.

Finally got ahold of the guy about a distributor and its sold already! Damn it! he still has a whole set of aluminum pulleys for 60 bucks. On one hand I want the pulleys because they are so cheap, on the other hand they dont serve a purpose at all.

Really that seems like alot, but its really not. It does suck you have to go to a court hearing though. OK Title 42 is very similar but you don't go to court. You just mail all your stuff to the OK Tax Commision and they look it over and mail it back to you with instructions on where to take your paperwork and what fees if any are associated but usually none. Just the first year tag and the $7 title fee which you'd pay anyway if you bought a new/used vehicle. Very cheap process in OK. Maybe I oughta go out of state and buy these no title vehicles bring them here, and on my way there I can be taking rust free parts to sell for bucks.

I am very tempted to go check it out, if its a complete running truck the thing could be worth alot of money to the right person.
