I don't know about ADs but on TF trucks the VIN should be spot welded to
the driver's side windshield post. If its attached with pop rivets or
screws look out.
On the lighter side, I have a 57 Chevy Convertible that has a VIN tag
issued by MEXICO. The original Chevy VIN tag was removed anf the Mexican
tag put in its place and attached with drive rivets. You should have seen
my DPS buddy's face when he saw this one. 8-o Fortunately, the Mexican VIN
matches the frame so he didn't give me a hard time about it. He just said
he didn't want to know how the car got back into the States.

on and off - i.e. theft protection stinks. Makes me wonder what VIN plates
were *really* held on with for the different years. Likewise here, no TX
for me just in case.
