so I have a issue, I have a old 78 f100 ive own since i was 16 ,the vin tag has been miss placed due to the truck being torn down keep in mind i am canadian from Ontario , how would one get a replacement dash vin tag and as well as door tags metal and aluminum types, and as well as the sticker kind since it will be lost when i strip it down ??

 

Dash VIN tags were not used until 80. Marti can get you the other ones. Marti Auto Works - Concourse Quality, Hobbyist Price

 

Yup, no dash VIN until the '80 model year and X2 on Marti. He can furnish the warranty plate for the door, the federal cert sticker for the door jamb and the special rivets for the warranty plate.
Marti's work is top notch.

 

stupid question then ..?? whats the tag on the dash if vin tags didnt come out till the 80s

 

There shouldn't be any VIN tag on the dash.
The F series didn't have an actual VIN plate until the 1980 model year when they started mounting them on the dash at the base of the windshield.
The metal plate mounted on the door, what a lot of people call a VIN plate isn't legally a VIN plate. It's not mounted to a permanent part of the body. Doors are easily changed. Ford calls it a warranty plate.
The number that most states use for title purposes, the "legal" VIN is the number that's stamped on the passenger side frame rail in the engine compartment.
The tag you're referring to, is it actually inside the cab on the dash or is it in the engine compartment on the firewall? If it's on the firewall, that's a "buck tag". It's used by assembly line workers during production to be sure certain options are fitted. If the tag is actually on the dash, I don't know what it is.

BTW, there is no such thing as a stupid question. Nothing wrong with asking when you don't know.

 

X2 on what Mike said, how about you post up a pic of that tag on your dash.

 

yah i just went out to double look and post a pic , I was wrong about the dash tag lol but still need the other tags and stickers

 

Well I'll be....Again here is how to get all the replacement stuff you need. http://www.martiauto.com/tags.cfm
