Should be a metal tag inside the drivers door jamb.

[Travis]

Well it looks like I am shit outta luck on that. Im going to have to go to DMV with a truck with no VIN tag on it...

Yeah, should be on the front side of drivers door jamb, a shiney metal tag. Look for sings of rivets. Rodshop

I dont think the 55s were riveted in. Do you have any kind of papers for the truck? Lots of times you can get away with a "VIN" number tag made at a trophy shop or just registering the motor number. at least in TX.

[raven]

Do you have the original motor in it?
The #'s should be on it.

I got one off a 56 panel truck and it was riveted to the inside of the A-pillar on the driver's side...I don't have it anymore but I think Danchuk and/or Chevs of the 40's usta sell blanks...stamp your numbers and pop rivet thet sucker in place...

Use one outta a similar year car. Do tou HAVE to get it inspected? Just take the paper work in and they should belive you, are you going to the one off Harding or are you gonna go up to the Folsom one(they are rather "lax" up there).

Look for it stamped on the top of the frame rail under the hood. My '66 has it on the left side. Depending on the year you'll find a tag in the driver's door jamb on the windhield piller, or the top of the jamb. Look on the passenger side too.

CA CHP/DMV won't go by the door tag anyway.
They want the frame number which is on top of the drivers side frame rail right above the front axle.
Unless it's got a M-II front end welded on top of it or it's Camaro clipped. then you're SOL and will have to get a number assigned.
They can do that to.

Just take a wire brush to the crud on top of the frame, you'll find it

[yorgatron]

it's wherever you want it to be! wanna borrow my pop-rivet gun? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Travis]

YAY!!! I found it. I will post a new topic on why I am doing this. But I actually found it on the frame above the axle and it's a 57! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Thanks guys...

The serial numbers on frame are same as cab VIN numbers. Two spots on drivers side top of frame near steering box and right below cab
