I personally wouldnt remove the VIN. I lost a 76 k-5 blazer for almost 2 years that I had traded for because it had the wrong rivets holding the VIN plate in the door jamb. This vehicle had the matching # frame, engine and hidden VINS. I had to hire a lawyer and sue to get it back, In the end it was discoverd that it had been rear clipped years before and they took the plate off of the damaged portion and reattached it to the replacement body parts. I also had to have an assigned VIN put on by the Highway Patrol and lost the original ID #. It was an absolute nightmare. This happened in the state of Kansas. If you have to remove it I would make sure from the state you are in that it is legal to remove and reattach it before you touch it...........Thats my .02 cents worth
