hello i just pulled a 78 toyota from a barn a few months ago, i want to put her back on the road but i have just found out someone put a 75 body on it a friend told me because of that it wont a pass smog test here in california.
i have tried to find out if its true with no luck
any info?

 

Is the VIN off the '75 cab? emissions go by what year the vehicle is and as long as it passes what restrictions are on '75 model vehicles then theres not a problem

 

the 75 vin plate is still on the cab but i have the one from the other! all the paper work and engine says its a 78.

 

Aye aye aye. Any chance of the body VIN no longer being readable? I mean, 35 years can do a lot to an old truck body...

 

its readable someone took some what good care of it lol!
