Lost My 65

[LostMy65]

What the perfect site!
I've been reading for weeks.

Now I just need to find my lost love.

I sold my 65 back in 86/87 and want to find it bad.

Shortbed Stepside - 283.

I have the Plate Number and VIN.

Any suggestions on how to track it down?

I called DMV, and they said it's still driven locally and has registration until 2012.

Thanks again for such a great forum.
