I recently trailed my '54 3100 to the VIN inspection station in Bremerton,
Washington. I tied it down using the frame, and partially compressing the
axles. This VIN inspection station is also a Washington State Police
station, and while they did notice the expired trailer license they said
nothing about how I'd chained the truck on the trailer. They did look at my
safety chains and seat belts.

You want to tie down the axles and let the suspension do it's job. If you
tie
down the body you will have to use a lot bigger tie downs. as you won't be
able to get all the bounce out it will put more stress on the tie downs. DOT
in Washington State will ticket you if not tied down by the axles.
