Just wondering how many guys have the title for their s10 frame. Or if it's that important?

Dan Bowles · 02-28-2011, 09:38 PM

I don't but it might matter depending on what state you are registered in. I have 3 trucks sitting on S10s but all are titled as ADs.

I've got the title and vin tag off my s10 as I know the DMV here will want it to write it off the books and to ensure that some offroader doesn't use it to circumnavigate a Vehicle Inspection...

But that's here in BC...

I asked some questions at the DMV about my Suburban and they said that they prefer them to be together but I got the impression that as of right now they don't really care. I do have the vin and title for my s10 frame so I will probably do it anyway in case they make it mandatory someday. I think it is a good idea to do it in case you sell it later to someone from a state that will need it.
Did they ever replace that inspector guy in Pocatello yet, the lady in Idaho falls is a real pain in the a$$ to deal with. The DMV told me I would have to go through her to get it done, I would rather try someone somewhere else.

daverod · 02-28-2011, 11:53 PM

The reason I'm asking is because I want to buy a frame off a guy but he has no title and the vin# says it has a lean on it.

Suck. The dick here is still a guy. I talked to him once. I need to talk to him again. He seemed to say parts don't need titles. Kinda wish e wash e.

While its true that parts dont have/need titles.. its also true that any part off a stolen car is a stolen part.. and in some cases the police may confiscate an entire vehicle for containing one big stolen part, like an engine or frame...

now is it stolen? depends.. if he doesn't pay off the loan, then it will become stolen. period. when you owe on a vehicle, you don't own that vehicle.

considering the large number of non-issue S10s out there, i would find a different donor.

I think you are right

rhodog77 · 03-01-2011, 08:19 PM

I have the title for my s10 but in all reality the DMV has no idea what Im building nor do i think they care. They will take it out of the system, like Thadious said. I have the title for my '50 as well. The Vin tag is all they really care about, at least here in my county. With that said, I probably woundn't buy something that has a lean on it or any that has any issues like that. You should be able to find a complete s10 for a few hundred bucks. In Kentucky you dont even need a title to purchase a classic vehicle as long as it has never been titled in KY. I received a project title in just a few days. Once my truck is ready for the road, I have to get a sheriff inspection, insure it, register it and then the DMV issues a clear title.

Thadious · 03-01-2011, 11:05 PM

Oh... and I used the wiring harness from the S10, but stripped it for just the chassis and tossed in a Painless for the computer stuff.

SSN.... submariner I presume... =)

daverod · 03-01-2011, 11:08 PM

What about the front? I was in the Navy 6yrs on Fast attack subs. Only lived in Canada for a day.

Thadious · 03-01-2011, 11:12 PM

Lmao... a poser...

The front... standard 2wd S10, low backspacing and possible wheel spacers...

I'm trying to find stock parts to swap in to fix that... but only have the top control arms researched so far....

I'm coming back there when I get old so I can suck up that free medicare.

Sigh... so much I can say... but let's leave politics outta this...
