Thanks for the congrats.
Today, I got the particulars in making it a legal truck without a valid title. In the state of Kansas, you can use a bill of sale as a transfer instrument if the title is not available. The vehicle will need to be VIN inspected before it can be tagged and titled. I called the KHP who does those inspections. Their office is just a couple miles away from where the truck sits now. The Inspection officer was nice enough to go look the truck over to be sure it will pass inspection. He said it would be good to go, but I would need to make it operable and road-worthy prior to inspection.
So, all it good and Christian and I will go get her this weekend as planned.
