Lost title for frame only?

[CG]

Anyone ever tried to get a title for a frame only? Ive had a title in the past for a frame but with the vins too (I know .. a no no).

I have a 71 SWB K10 frame Ill be using for a project and I have no paperwork for the frame, but all the correct paperwork for the rest. No biggie here in Washington, but Im just trying to consider way down the road if it ever decides to go by by.

So I was thinking Id try to figure out where all sets of numbers are at on the frame ... I think there is more than one place, and take those numbers in to a licensing place and have them run the numbers to make sure they are out of the system.

And then I would apply for a lost title or something along those lines. After I had the frame title I could go to the State Patrol and see if they would merge the cab and the frame as one good title.

Anyone ever do these kind of shenanigans? Im absolutely trying to keep this all above board.
