Hoping to contribute something soon...in the meantime...

My Dad gave me his 41 pickup restomod. He is 93 and cannot remember what he ate for breakfast, let alone the work he did 30 years ago on the pickup.

The VIN on the CA title ends in "CAL". I have a bill of sale from 1992 with the "new" VIN printed on it. However, the number on the frame does NOT match, not even close.

Possible that at some point when the previous owner began working on it that it may not have had a title so CA DMV assigned a new number? Anyone think of another reason why the VIN doesn't match. I'd have to remove some paint but I can clearly see where the number is stamped on the frame so wonder why they didn't use that number. Hmmm

Educate me my friends. Thanks in advance.
