I have the sn, and the "USA #" DRMO claimed they could not ID
the MFG & year.
IF they will agree I think we have that now.
A call tomorrow should help them ID all of the M35's they sell
and make em easier to tag, without committing minor fraud to make the state
happy.

Rikk,
I think you said you couldn't find the serial number (AKA VIN) and date of
delivery. The serial number and sometimes the data of delivery are stamped
into
the front left side of the frame visible inside the wheel well. I looked at
a
number of trucks yesterday and they all had the S/N. One had the date of
delivery.

Hope this helps,
Matt Tait
Fullerton, CA
