Exactly .. particularly the use of the word "Illegal" to replace a cab and reuse the original compliance plate.RUFF wrote:Correct. Held on with pop rivets. The body has no numbers stamped into it that match with any of the numbers on the Compliance plates. Its common although illegal to replace a cab and re-use the original compliance plates.Shadow wrote:they have vin and compliance plates though?
Having done exactly this swap (in Qld), I can confirm, after spending many hours arguing with the Transport Dept staff and then having a long conversation with the Police Fraud squad, that the practice of changing compliance plates onto other shells is completely illegal.
In he end I had to hand over the original compliance plates and apply for a surrogate Vehicle Identification Number
.TD 80 Series, F&R Lockers, Winch etc
