Jan 1 1968 is when the fmvss sticker is a problem, I don't think that a short vin should be a problem they just have to send an inspector out and they can reassign a number or accept the old one in some cases, with the way I believe the law is going to go they are all going to have to have some one come and look at them to verify the condition of the truck. This new ruling should do away with the safety sticker problem because it allows them go to off of the federal regs that the truck was built for, which if you ask me are pretty much the same as in part with my m109a4. I could not get the inspector to give me anything that would be a problem besides that it didn't have some stupid little sticker on it, and yeah might have to be adding a license plate light but that's about it.
