Looks sharp! Really enjoyable build to follow. Keep up the great work!

Another question for you: Which VIN code are you using? The one from the original frame and motor, or the one from the new frame.
The reason i ask is that the only reference to the original VIN that i can find is that it is the number stamped on the block and the same number stamped near the steering box on the frame. I am thinking about doing the frame swap as well (more likely from a f350 or similar) and wanted to know what problems might arise from doing this. |

Either or..... all depends on where you live with inspection rules etc at your DMV I have titles for both... I don't have any registered yet or have plates... |
