I bought a truck and cannot find the VIN for it. Can anybody tell me where the vin is? I need it to register since the guy I bought it from lost the title and don't remember where it is?

On mine, as I belive on most, the vin tag is on the plate on the glove box lid and a partial vin on the frame rail on the top of the right frame rail near the starter. Use an electric wire brush and the one on the frame should appear.

I answered that question a few days ago but it never went thru.
One suggestion was to find another glovebox door with the plate. They show up for around $25 on several auction sites, etc.
No big deal since it is a common practice.
Finding the frame ID is usually close to impossible and I dont know any State Troopers that are willing to get their hands dirty anyway just to sign off on some old truck.
