Jim Roach Posted January 22, 2023 Report Posted January 22, 2023 I won’t waste your time with all the details but I had to order a replacement door pillar ID tag for my 52 3/4 ton truck. Can someone give me a measurement where the top hole is located? Quote
ggdad1951 Posted January 24, 2023 Report Posted January 24, 2023 Have the holes been filled in? Quote
pflaming Posted January 24, 2023 Report Posted January 24, 2023 Monday, yesterday, DMV/CHP came to my shop to verify vin numbers for me. On the vehicles they took the engine number. I don’t think DMV cares as long as they get a vin number and we license the vehicles, then they can tax and get revenue accordingly. D the CHP that come out had a list of vehicles to verify, so it is obvious it is a common practice. Quote
Jim Roach Posted January 24, 2023 Author Report Posted January 24, 2023 The holes have been filled in. I’m hoping once I get the rough location I can pick at it until it reveals itself. Then I can drill it out and attach the replacement tag. Thanks for your help. Quote
Eneto-55 Posted January 25, 2023 Report Posted January 25, 2023 If you can access the inside of that area, and if they were simply filled with plastic filler, you might be able to knock off the "nubbins" that would have been pressed in through the holes, and that might show on the outside, depending on how thick the bondo is. (Of course, it might also break out a larger area, so maybe not a good idea.) Quote

Up above I have a pic of the location based off the bolt on the door hinge, should get you inthe ball park easily. Quote
Jim Roach Posted January 25, 2023 Author Report Posted January 25, 2023 Thanks everyone. I'll let you know how I make out. Quote
Jim Roach Posted January 26, 2023 Author Report Posted January 26, 2023 Thanks for the picture. As it turned out the holes were there, I just couldn't see them because of the dirt. The plate came in yesterday and it looks great. Steve at DCM Classics did a great job. Fast turnaround. Took me longer to find two screws the right size that look alike than it took to mount it. Thanks again for everyone's help. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted January 27, 2023 Report Posted January 27, 2023 Did DCM stamp the numbers in for you too? My truck hasn't had a tag since I got it. I should probably get one. Quote
billrigsby Posted January 27, 2023 Report Posted January 27, 2023 Did not know they did that, I got mine from Poland Highly recommend, lots to choose from.... His eBay Offerings Robert's email; g503@interia.pl Quote
Young Ed Posted January 27, 2023 Report Posted January 27, 2023 I got the one for my 47 from the Poland guy too. Very well done piece. Shipping of course was a little expensive coming that far Quote
ggdad1951 Posted January 27, 2023 Report Posted January 27, 2023 Yah he did my gen and starter tags....good stuff. Quote
Jim Roach Posted January 31, 2023 Author Report Posted January 31, 2023 Merle, yes he did stamp all the numbers for me. I think he did a great job. Quote
