    VIN number Redundancy

    I have a 931A1 that I was planning on getting a title for. The VIN number plate that is normally on the right hand side dash of the cab is missing. There has to be a redundancy VIN somewhere on the truck. Any ideas where? If not how does a person get this SF97's filed without it? thanks
