VIN numbers on 1986 Chev-C10 PU ?

Hi all, Greetings.

Just got a truck from Grandpa 2 weeks ago.(out of state vehicle) AAA in So. Cal. cant find the VIN #'s to register the truck. There is a tag on the driver's door but it is too faded to read. We looked all over the firewall etc. for the stamped VIN # but couldn't find it. Passed smog and all already, but just need that darn VIN number.

Any suggestions on where to look ? Next step is DMV and the Cal. Hwy. Patrol. (what a hassle)

Left side of the dashboard:

Or left windshield pillar, just about midway up from the dashboard. It will be rusty and hard to read, in either location.

The Title.... The Bill of Sale...

any mechanics Work Order from previous repairs that may be in the glove box

the tax office where the vehicals taxes have been paid

the vehical registration at the State Highway Department

OR........

the SMOG CERTIFICATION that you said you jest passed..............

or...standing outside the truck, look through the windshield on the drivers side, there's a little metal tag in the corner of the dash panel near the windshield.

MarshMonster ~wonders how you got a smog cert. without a VIN #~ =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
