Worth posting is the fact that 1 ton frames are thicker than the 3/4 or 1/2 ton counterparts. Cracking the frame is much more common on these mentioned trucks.
17 digit VINs didn't exist in 69. Some folks add the registration number to the VIN and create their own number. My old wrecker had a 6 character VIN and was titled without issue. Only the VIN is stamped in the frame.
I agree, right up to the point one person screws up. At that point things go downhill at a horrific rate. I575 traffic between Canton and I75 is worse. Congrats on getting home safe. I miss the Cinci skyline.
Every swinging Richard with more money than sense would buy them for off road and immediately seek a path to register them. History has already proven that fact.
Whatever you do, make sure that the VIN is ran by a LEO. Also, the VIN is stamped in the frame, make darn sure that matches the bill of sale and data plate.
I find the A pillar gauge pods distracting. I wonder if the reason they are so popular is folks showing off gauges. A dash pod seems much more functional.
