keeping the registration of the original c3500 for that reason.
The registration is tied to the VIN.... You'll have a 1500 VIN. I would not want to get caught swapping VIN tags.

He's using the 3500 frame/drivetrain/brakes. None of that really knows or cares what the VIN or cab are.
Let's just take a moment of silence to respect the loss of an ever rarer 400 4 door cab...The White Truck was my original truck. a tree crushed the passenger side roof and door frame which is why i came up with this crazy idea
Agreed, it was a sad day. Was my dad's truck, but have to move on to bigger and better things!Let's just take a moment of silence to respect the loss of an ever rarer 400 4 door cab...
Aight now where'd I put my welding helmet again
I have all the paperwork for all the involved trucks, not really worried. I'm using the 3500 vin to register because I had to change the doors and dash anyway, which is where the vin numbers are. Also, there are emissions (smog) considerations.The registration is tied to the VIN.... You'll have a 1500 VIN. I would not want to get caught swapping VIN tags.
I have the paperwork. I would rather it be registered to the vin on the dash and door and the look/usage for insurance and liability purposes. They run the tag and it says 1500, it WOULD look unsafe, they run it and see it's a 1 ton, it would make sence.From a physical standpoint, it'll be a 1-ton, and will handle a load, like a 1-ton. The Govt. and Insurance don't care about that, they care about the paperwork. He's building a truck that will, according to the Govt./Insurance, have all the signs of an unsafe and/or stolen vehicle... you DON'T want them thinking that.
Could try to see if anyone's interested in it (the cab) for the back half. Some crazy nutjob could use it for a 6 door conversionAgreed, it was a sad day. Was my dad's truck, but have to move on to bigger and better things!
I’m eventually going to build a stretched cab for a wheelchair accessible truck conversion.Some crazy nutjob could use it for a 6 door conversion
You won't....I’m eventually going to build a stretched cab for a wheelchair accessible truck conversion.
I’m taking some notes from this build, because I’m going to be doing a lot of similar work.
