As far as I am concerned - the original VIN for Christine will be
retained. I see changing the frame as being no more out of the normal
than changing a hood or a fender. No need to change VIN's. Since I'll
never sell the truck, this makes no difference from a resale stand
point. If the bone yard truck has a rust free cab... ohh bonus WIN.

-----------------
Not entirely true Tom. Most frames DO have a VIN stamp on them
somewhere. Normally that doesn't become an issue; however, the way your
luck runs I won't say the word n*v*r. Generally it's stamped in some
rather hard to locate and generally un-publicized location -- i.e. one
that the cops know about but most civies don't. As far as moving the VIN
on the cab they likely have unique rivets attaching them to sheet metal.
