Sounds like but that's just a guess is that your truck has a CA assigned vin. There should be a metal sticker/plate riveted to the frame or body. Or at least that is what was on an OT MG I had years ago. Not exactly sure where it might be on your truck - if it has one at all. The local vin verifier at the CHP might be able to give you a clue as where to look. Regardless you need to get this sorted with the DMV/CHP. JMO

Edit: I found some paper work showing the CA assigned vin (from 1971) starting with DMV and ending with CA. DMV*****CA. Numbering has probably changed since then.
