Reverse VIN Tracking - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Awhile back I bought a parts truck from a scrapyard with no VIN tag on the door post, just a bill of sale. Looked to be a 69' or 70' C20 with a 327 2b...400 Turbo...Eaton HO52. I was after the engine and transmission for another project but ended up not using them. So now I have what looks to be a rough but all original C20 with no title. In theory I should be able to come up with a VIN by the frame numbers, engine, etc. if it is in fact all original. Then run that VIN(or several) through my state motor vehicle data base and see if it was stolen etc. and resolve any issues and obtain a title. Any thoughts on this approach?
