I must have not looked close enough to notice, but the tags appear to be pop-riveted on...?

If you are "buds" with a body shop, they likely can help you on your "restoration" of your old truck. ;)
Otherwise it's Oh! Canada!

I've seen them advertised in mopar magazines. I think they're about $45/pair. I swapped dashes in my ramcharger and used regular rivets. That was mostly due to me not wanting to buy expensive crap for a $1000 truck lol

If you're using the same dash there's no need to change it.

Mark, where are the frame numbers located?

IMO, like Mark said, it's a 20 year old truck, are they really going to look that close? I bet I can't see the VIN on my frame because it's rust pitted so bad. Most others are too. If I was going to do a 4x4 swap or a cab swap, no way I'd go DMV, (I didn't anyways when I swapped cabs) and give the state any more money.
When I was younger I got pulled over quite a bit, something to do with my right leg being 2 inches longer than the left. (family deformity, my mom drives like a maniac too :lol: ) I can't remember the cops ever checking the VIN, maybe once when I was riding the bike.

Indiana's pretty easy to work with. We put up a fiscal surplus and it wasn't made off of the DMV. Plus it's hot and humid down there. Not to mention the crazy people (i.e. my grandmother)

The great state of Indiana would welcome you. The average shop labor rate is higher if I catch your drift and erosion catalysts ("mudders") are few and far between. There are diesel douchers, but we keep it pretty real out here up in the flat land. Just typical city problems :lol: I can maybe think of 6 or 8 1st gens in my town. 3 D250 (all non-ic originally) and a few club cab W250s.
