Need Help W/ Title for 79 Stepside

[67mbsc]

I just bought a 79 Short Stepside, Scottsdale, that was from Texas. Last titled there. The guy I bought it from assured me he would get the title he claimed to have. Now, two weeks later, he is AWOL!!!

Does anybody have any experience with Texas about me getting a title for this? I did originally buy it with thoughts for putting it back together, (bad engine) but even if If I have to bale it, I have to have a title here lately!

It would be a shame to bale it, it has a dry step bed, good clip, doors, tach dash, A/C, AM/FM, so I'm asking for some help in getting this title dillemma resolved. Anybody has any experience with this before with Texas? I do have a tag from TX on it, that could help the search process?

Thanks,
