What is the reason you can't meet with the registered owner ? I wouldn't even bother going to look at any truck/car without dealing with the owner or at least meeting them ? I would definitely want a signed and notarized BILL OF SALE along with the signature matching title to get it out of the country . And a copy of their ID showing that same signature . You never hear of someone getting a hard time when registering and insuring a truck when they have TOO MUCH documentation of title transfer . I would stress the fact that your taking it back to Canada and need all the documentation to do that If they can't provide it look for another truck or plan on leaving that one at the border .
