Re: [SilverStreak] VIN location for 1966 Silver Streak Sabre

[<MSC06USNret@xxxxxxx>]

Another thought:  My 1958 Clipper never seemed to have a plate  anywhere on 
the tongue, etc. with a VIN number.  When i went to re-register  it, the DMV 
used the number that is stamped on the metal sign to the right of  the front 
door "The Clipper by Silver Streak, El Monte, California".  this  seems to be 
hand stamped on this plate with #-###ending in a alpha  character.  best regards, 
jim

Jason,
Just go to a major machine shop and get a SS id tag from them  and let them 
use their stamps and make your own since you have the  numbers. You could 
also get any piece of durable metal like a piece of  flat aluminum from a 
hardware store, make your own using a piece of paper  to exact copy the 
existing holes placement, and make your own.

I  don't know about 66, but in 76 and 79 the ID plate had little info other  
than the meaningless vin numbers. My trailer and motor home have length,  
year, and year as I recall. Seems like one tag on one side of the motor  home 
had a mfg date with all the info. Anyway just make your own, get  someone who 
stamps everyday to stamp it so it will look nice and avoid  your having to 
buy a stamp set. It is best to pop rivet affix the tag as  sometimes and in 
some instances screwed on tags are less accepted. Make a  spare and affix it 
onto the tongue frame.

Since you are honest,  transaction, data is honest, and no one knows what the 
original tag looked  like anyway, what will it matter? It had no theme, 
scheme, or coloring  like a Spartan so what will it matter?
