take note that the vin is also stamped into the body in several other spots that are unseen to people not knowing where they are,
swapping the cab your going to be dealing with DMV retitling the truck as a rebuilt vehicle, in NY it's like what i had to go though in NJ not fun

Do the swap the best you can and enjoy your new ride.......don't worry about it, make it look legit as I doubt any one would be "investigating"

I have done several special construction titles in MO. The highway patrol knows what for and where to look for descrepancy. That is their job, and they seem to luv their job. In MO, the title follows the vin. A bill of sale only would open a can of worms, the big slimy kind that bite you when you try to put em on a hook. It can be done here, but involves a judge's signature among other things.
