Incorrect dash vin tag

I had a VIN Tag issue back in the 90s with a 74 power wagon that I was semi-rebuilding. The doors were dented and rusted. I was able to find a new set of doors in the local Fairbanks junkyard. I then realized that the 74 Dodge trucks did not have a VIN tag riveted to the dash. the VIN-tags on those trucks, as some of you may know are riveted to the drivers door. So me being a law abiding citizen, I drilled out the original VIN tag that was on the title and registration of the truck and brought the truck along with the old VIN TAG to the DMV. This DMV also housed our local Fairbanks trooper barracks. When I walked up to the counter of the DMV explained to the lady what I was doing, I proceeded to slap the original VIN tag on the counter. You should’ve seen her eyes light up when she saw that!! she immediately told me to stop and ran-to the back. About five minutes later she came back with a trooper who I told the story to and he asked me where the truck was. I told him it was out in the parking lot he told me to drive it around to the trooper garage where he proceeded to take the keys and said go wait in the lobby I’ll get back to you. Long story short two hours later my registration and title had changed VIN numbers It now had a primary and a secondary VIN which was stamped on the frame rail that it took forever to find. He said that I came very close to getting my truck impounded. Lesson learned. I should’ve just thrown the old door in the back of the truck and drove it to the DMV without drilling out the VIN tag.
