It is the oddest thing we probably have seen. 

I agree this is an oddity for sure. Possible import? That's the only thing that kinda makes sense.

I don't think we can really run old 7 digit VINs like that either. I think it is an import/possible prototype that Renault goofed with and then retired it back to the U.S. This is a good mystery.

1981 was when the VIN was standardized and required 17 digit. In guessing this was either and import and or a factory test truck. Those are the only reason I know that it wouldn't have a full length VIN. The wired part is even if it was an import the rest of the world adopted the 17 digit VIN in 1981 also. I am very very intrigued by this one!!
