The data plate picture is ALWAYS removed after the auction. This is so that someone can't take your vin and claim your truck as theirs.

In TN I only need 4 pics of the truck and 1 of the data plate and a notarized bill of sale and I can get a title for the truck tomorrow without an EUC

If none is specified, I am unsure what they will do since it is a vehicle. I would think they will still issue an SF-97 without a VIN (specified as UNK for unknown). I have gotten trailers marked as such in the distant past, but never with a vehicle. From there, I am unsure what you would have to do to get a VIN. I have heard that sometimes there are tags underneath with the VIN on them. I have never seen one, but I heard this from a bigger HMMWV dealer who said he has seen a few trucks with VIN tags on them. I would not plan on finding one. You may have to go the salvage route where a VIN is assigned by your state.

I should have added that the VIN tags were metal tags hanging from the suspension in the front attached by a thin metal wire. As I said, I have never seen one. I am only reporting what I was told by a guy I trust. With that said, I am unsure if those came from the factory or possibly at some point during a repair.
