More likely it is in various parts bins in the area, parts have been shipped out of state (or someplace), and the frame was taken to a recycler for quick cash (sans VIN of course).

I'm sure there are ones in south Dallas or outlying counties that would overlook it Not like they can't just cut the frame up into pieces anyway - I wouldn't expect them to come in with an intact frame.
