Actually, I think you misread my post cos I misread yours. You said no scribes on the back window, thats irrelevant cos anybody can change their window so they cant use that for checking numbers -I am talking about the number inprinted on the firewall (pop your bonnet on any of your cars and you will see what I mean).

Mate, Hiluxs have ID on the chassis. They all do. I've done a heap of them . as owned wrecked etc. They are easy to change too if you can weld. The normal way plod goes about identifying a 'ringer' if suspects it is one is by using a POV cam down inside the chassis rail. The ride around against this is to tack a piece of sheet inside the chassis rail so the POV can't get past or I have heard of dudes lopping a 1/4 of the chassis rail off and swapping them over.

To clarify a bitYou can IMPORT anything of any age you like. But cars must have a 3 didget emmission code in order to be allowed on the road in New Zealand legally. --This is ignoreing the conversations above and any decisions based on that

I've never seen one - "Where is it!" I need to know. Hell - we've fitted SH chassis' - bodies onto chassis' No hanky-panky crap tho. Like I said - done honestly - what's the problem!

Mate, look behind the right front wheel at the chassis. Its right there facing you. All of the luxy pickups and surfs are serial numberd rit there. In addition, there will be a stamped number on top of the radiator slam panel and bringing it all together will be the 2 tags that are held on by rivets on the top portion of the firewall. Whats the problem! None here dude. This is why you see good prices being paid for old lux's that have seen better days but are still live.in the system. They will be parted out to recoupe the price paid for them but their most redeeming feature will be kept - to breathe new life into a project . and thus bypassing all of the entities that have their hands out as part of the LVV gravy train.
