Plug a decent scanner into it, PCM also knows the VIN. If the ABS and Airbag lights aren't on, PCM VIN agrees with what the rest of the truck thinks it is. See if that vin matches the VIN on the title.
I would also check to see (if that is indeed the correct vin...) if the vehicle has a salvage title. (indicating is was totaled, rebuilt, and re-titled)
If the VIN does NOT match the title, talk to the cops, and verify the truck is NOT stolen, and what the process would be (and how much it costs....) to get that particular issue taken care of.

This is very simple... NO VIN PLATE = ILLEGAL.
But if you want to take the chance, it'll be you sitting in front of a judge. And if your lucky, it'll be without a jumpsuit.
The rivets that hold it on are "special". You cannot buy them. If the plate is attached without these rivets (use of standard rivets), it is also ILLEGAL. If you look at any vin plate, you'll notice that the rivets are star shaped.
