Re: Is this a rebody?
I usually just step in and read on this forum.But,this topic seems to come up a lot on different forums.So I have a question on this.If I jig my car up so everything can be replaced,jig the hidden #'s,serial #,and cowl tag,then cut around each 2-3 inches and replace everything else what would be the difference?Numbers have not been moved and still attached to some of the original metal.I know this extreme.But not much different than shown.

Re: Is this a rebody?
73-79 Ford pickups have the VIN tag riveted to the door. So If I remove the door am I committing a felony? Or if I change the door, which happens often, I am committing the same? If I put the door on a different truck is this now a rebody?

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?

Re: Is this a rebody?
71-up Broncos have the VIN on the glovebox door. Talk about easy to rebody! Blazers and GM pickups 68-72 have the VIN on the driver's door. Many Broncos and Blazers/Pickups have state issued VINs because of this.

[/ QUOTE ] 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.

Is that the difference between removing the VIN or removing the car from the VIN?I certainly hope these laws were written in California!!
