    Trouble in Iowa with titles

    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...

    Sorry about the confusion, it was Wed. of this week I went and today he showed up, and it seems to be new legislation requiring the safety label. I have a friend in town that has one but it has been registered for a couple of years now, so he beat the new legislation. The one I am trying to...
