Default Certificate of authenticity?

Hello, I am new to this site. I recently purchased a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 GTX 5.7 Hemi. I saw some previous post presenting this question and some rude replies. I'm not here to get caught up in that scene. My question is How to go about getting a Certificate of Authenticity for my truck. It is orange # 417 of 433 ..It has a salvage title currently and being rebuilt. It did not come with the certificate, just the owners manual and service book. It is a nice clean vehicle with 67000 miles on it. Before we got it, It had a wheel bearing fly apart and did some damage to the drivers side fender and suspension. I do not have pics currently but will take some. If anyone has any information to guide me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Did they originally come with one from the dealer?? If so, you should be able to contact Chrysler customer service, and get a re-print.

Otherwise, you can go here, and get a build sheet for your truck, which should list that option package.

Or maybe contact LA West, if they are still around, I can't seem to find a website for them.

Certifying what? That's a real GTX or something? GTX's didn't come from the factory per se, trucks were shipped to LA West for customization as they were ordered. Should have a serial number tag on the door jamb like this one:






Very interesting....I was gonna tell you to go here and enter your VIN: https://fcacommunity.force.com/RAM/s/equipment-listing
But every GTX Ram VIN I've found says "No records found corresponding to the VIN provided"

You can also email Dodge directly, and tell them you would like a build sheet for your truck. Just send them the VIN and their support team should get back to you quick.

I'd be curious to see what FCA comes up with, I tried several VIN's from GTX Rams for sale and none of them show up on the online build sheet generator
