I ran into this with my 72 I bought from GA two yrs ago. The PO told me all three matched (title, glovebox vin and frames vin). I was really after the uncut tub, everything else was a plus. Well I went to transfer the title in my name and they said they needed to see the permanent vin on the vehicle. I musta got the bronco nazi bc she refused to accept the original GB door with vin plate. She pointed out to me that there is a vin stamped on the frame. So I went back to the frame, used a wire wheel and paint stripper and eventually found a stamp. My luck the stamp did not match the title, it was a U14. So my aspirations of having a 72 was over. So now I went searching for a title with a matching frame that can easily be viewed. That's where I found a 77 frame and matching title for $150. Days later I took the frame and title to the DMV and they came out and verified the frames vin. They transferred the title to my name.
My next step is to get a Marti report. I want to get the report, GB vin plate and if possible the door stickers. It may cost a few dollars but I want to do that. I'm debating on going with the stock color paint.
