Aha. i haven't thought of that, or even knew it was possible. My ignorance to how titles work. I figured any title they could use would have a VIN on it. As mine did. I didn't think you could just use any VIN you wanted. And, I am not familiar with Texas titles at all. I've only seen Louisiana and California. And, it's been awhile since I've seen a Louisiana one. Well, hell, I may have a '57. I will know as soon as i get off my butt to check that frame. All this being said, If we want to be extremely cynical, we could say they changed the frame as well. Ha, just joking. Thanks for the info.
