It depends on which inspection station that you go to....I have year of manufacture plate on my 36 and my guy says no problem...Another satation says you need 2 plates...The rule is one but some stations dont know..I have not heard of any stations asking for Vin no.....Good luck...

Uh oh, something to look forward to when it comes time for that. Stamping on my chassis is VERY hard to make out. It is clearly marked on the transmission, but that won't be in the car when I get it inspected.

Leave it to RMV Massholes. First off the vin and title no. is on the reg. so there is no
need to take it apart and find a frame number. The mileage is printed on your inspection
check sheet they give you. I like that because I bring last years and this years check
sheet to insurance clearly showing the car went 500 miles all year possabilly getting a
break. What if the speedometer cable got busted. My model T has no speedometer.
And then all my vehicals the sticker blew out the window or fell off. Not my problem
that RMV the richest dept in the state but to cheap for sticker glue and I am not about to
scotch tape the sticker back on, for a 39 dollar piece of paper issued by legal crooks.
So you get stopped by some kid for no sticker? Just whip out your inspection sheet.
Yep passed inspection last month: not my problem, technecally the sticker is rmv
property not mine, so the dime is on them.........So Mike I bet your truck has very low
miles on it, BUT most run in 4 or 5th running the pump so the speedometer is clocking really showing engine mileage not truck mileage.

Mike is correct, inspection stations are required to photograph the license plate ( and year of manufacture only one is required even if two were original issued), the odometer, the vehicle serial number, do a safety inspection and it is all on tape from the cameras in the inspection bay. They are technically supposed to drive the car into the inspection bay themselves. That should be fun with a real Model T, or even a standard shift now days!
So, be prepared to have the VIN able to be photographed, on my car it is readable but on other's cars I've seen VIN's on a nice tag, riveted to the firewall, I did that on my 32 Roadster with a custom 32 frame. LouB.
