Good idea, I'll try that today!

I just installed a 2.5" TBP lift kit on my '73. This was replacing a very old BC 3.5" kit. No body lift. All went very smoothly, except now that the whole thing is done, one the ground and driving, the rag joint on the steering shaft is hitting in inner fender when it rotates. Not through the...

Seems from some Googling that the REG-31 is for confirming identity for standard registration or re-registration (out-of-state, junk/salvage), while the REG-124 is to get a new, assigned VIN because its original identity is lost or it's a kit/specially constructed vehicle, which this is not...

Thanks for the advice - very helpful. I did locate the frame VIN. I just ordered the door jamb sticker. Oddly enough, the guy at AAA did not fill out a form REG-31. He filled out something called a REG-124. Perhaps because the vehicle is a salvage title? I don't know anything about this process...

That's an interesting question. The CA DMV definitely does not know that it's been in CA previously. I mean, if they were to look it up, they would. I have had a few people tell me that I should be able to take in the old CA reg and a copy of the old CA title, plus the FL reg and title, and say...

They did indeed give me a 30 day operating permit. That said, this thing is not really "highway compatible" because it just doesn't go that fast. Couple that with the fact that it's 85 miles assuming you take highways, but if I were to try to do surface streets, it'd be an all day affair, lol...

I wonder if there's any risk in just buying the sticker from Marti and taking it back to AAA and showing them that I "found" it in the door jamb, and letting them check the box on the form. They already did the VIN verification from the Marti tag I literally double-sided taped to the glove box...

Ok, so aft of the shock mount - thank you!!

Salvage title does have the correct VIN. I have the CA title from way back when, but when I moved from CA to FL in '14, Florida wanted to re-title it. That title does have the correct VIN as well, but CA said because it had been out of state, they want to inspect the VIN again, which seems...

Amazing, thank you - I may pick one of these up, although it seems "missing" is a valid option for the inspector, so I'm not sure I need it necessarily. It's locating the VIN that is the issue, but it appears I've been looking on the wring side of the vehicle, lol. I'll check the passenger side...

Sorry for the long post, but the context is important. I have a '73 Bronco that has a salvage title. I bought it in 2006, registered it in CA, etc. In 2013, I sold it to a co-worker, moved to FL, and then ended up buying it back from him in 2018. I had it retitled in FL, with what amounts to a...
