Lets see a photo of what you're referring to. Are you sure that's not the body tag instead of the 16 digit VIN tag visible in the windshield frame of post-1968 vehicles?

The windshield VIN location applied to cars, not trucks. An example? 76 GMC is on the door jamb near the striker. IMO, Ford's placement clearly wasn't very well thought out (bordering on semi-retarded!) but the door is definitely where they chose to rivet the VIN tag.

If you install an entire donor body on to a firewall, it is not a rebody. If you swap a glove box door, it may be a felony. Is that the difference between removing the VIN or removing the car from the VIN?
I certainly hope these laws were written in California!!
