Does the frame stamp match the plate you mentioned?

Understand you can buy all the tags in the world, but if they don't match your frame number, they're useless. The frame number is the legal VIN accepted by most states and the FBI. To avoid potential future legal issues and possible confiscation, I would suggest making sure your frame number is clean and that you find a way to title your truck with that number. Do not try to use fake or mis-matched tags. That just makes matters worse and raises red flags if the truck is ever inspected. Most states have an inspection procedure and a process to get a bonded title for cases just like yours. That is your best course of action.

As was suggested above, Forget that illegal plate you mentioned, the number stamped in the frame is the ONLY number that matters. Take that number to your dmv and explain your situation, if they say they can't help, ask for a supervisor. You may wind up having to contact the main office for the state.
Be prepared for a long drawn out and possibly expensive lesson.
