At this point I am more concerned about not finding the vin tag on the door.  I fear that the state trooper will not issue me a title without having a cab vin.  Is it such a thing it would have not came with one, or is it straight up missing/removed?

Here is the door.  I don't see a vin tag.  Should there be one here? 

I'm new to the Mack world.  I guess I don't know what model it is, I thought it looked like an R just from googling, but I guess not.  Here is a pic.  Thanks for you guys' input so far.

I bought a 1980 Model R, bill of sale only, no title, (risky I realize but I did it anyways).  The trooper will come inspect the vin and issue me a title is the way it should work, but I can not locate the cab vin tag.  It is not on the driver's door like I have seen on similar trucks.  I have located the 13 digit vin on the frame and a non-vin tag on the cab.

Is my vin tag supposed to be on the driver's door?  I see factory mounting holes but no sign of there ever being a vin tag there, at least not in a long time.

What does that other tag on my cab mean?  It does not seem to have any correspondence to the vin number.

Where do I go to decode my vin number?
