What is the vin# & where off the truck did you get it ?

Check out the passenger side frame rail top between the rad & firewall to see what Vin# is stamped there.
You may need a wire brush to clean it up.

Just take the title into the DMV and have it corrected. When you got the truck, you may have gotten the wrong title. My mother in law was transfering a car into the other halfs name and she grabbed the title to her car, it came back from the DMV all messed up. Had to take the correct title in and get the whole mess fixed. They should be able to run a history (at the main office) of both VIN's and find where the error occured. Good luck.

Be aware in mid 77 there was a change to the the VIN format. I don't have mine in front of me but I think the last 6 digits changed from 6 numbers, to a letter and 5 numbers. 0 and O look a lot alike.
