No title makes it worth very little. If it his he should be able to get a duplicate title. Jay

x3. If he doesn't have it, or says that he can't get it, that throws up red lights. And the question...... WHY? If he can't produce even a duplicate title, turn and run.

[texasfunk]

yea, i have been there done that, some guy was selling me a 69 swb, NEW crate 454 and trans, interior was new, needed paint, but he wanted 1600!! seemed odd, he said it was his sons, but tht had no title, then when my dad went to go talk to him one day while i was at work (he thought it was too good to be true) he got him to admit, his son stole the truck 15 years back, then went to jail, he was trying to pull a fast one on me...

Lets say your driving down the highway and see an abandoned Square body....what happens to those trucks? Do they go to square body heaven? A local tow truck guy told me they get picked up and after 30days the tow lot can file for a lost title and in return receive a salvage title since it was abandoned by the original owner. I image that same thing could be done for your case.....

i guess the deal is the original owner sold it to guy1 who sold it to a guy2 and guy3 now has it but guy1 says he didnt get all the money and didnt hand over the title so now we are in this dilemma i really want a diesel thats the only reason im interested
he said he was going to see if he could get a title this weekend so i will talk to him tommorow
if not does anyone know where a 6.2 is in that price range in the colorado nebraska missouri oklahoma kansas region

[Stitch]

I would check craigslist or ebay honestly...you could find a 6.2l by itself pretty cheap...you wouldn't have the harness for it probably, but it's not hard to wire up...

I've talked to tow-truck drivers that say the same thing... if there is an abandoned vehicle on your property, you try to notify owner. If you don't get a response within 30 days, vehicle becomes your property. same thing at the tow yards.

I got burned once on a title discrepency. guy did a cab swap and put a diesel cab on a gas body. I paid him and went to register the truck as the diesel. DMV red flagged the truck and told me that the license plates didnt match the VIN. now I was stuck with a truck that had to be smogged. DMV guy told me the best thing to do was to walk out of the DMV office and he'd pretend like I was never there. I parted the truck out

3rd on this, if you watch the pawn stars there was a guy paid to take a 1965 Shelby Cobra . the owner never came and got the car after 30 days. so he got paid to take the car away and he got the car for FREE .BUT it was only a shell of the 1965 Shelby Cobra BUT IT WAS A REAL 1965 Shelby Cobra shell so he sold it to pawn stars $35000 -$50000. it comes on today on the history channel. pawn stars people get the 1965 Shelby Cobra fix up.

if you dont know what pawn stars is watch it. it is great

you can all so call your DMV to see if it is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Crew Cab was also without title
but after talking to the same as DMV in the states i got a piece of paper with the make and model and then i just had to get it inspected and pay the Fees thats come with that

I know a guy who lost the ownership for his s10 it was still in the po's name. In ontario you can go to the MTO with a signed letter from the PO stating that the ownership was lost and they do the transfer. He did not know how to get ahold of the PO so he forged the letter and it all went down without a hitch.

[grinch4om]

walk away... it ain't worth the hassle

[Mr.Scary]

yep!! grinch4om is right ive always heard from a few family members that have delt wit this b4 and they all say the same thing, just walk away and it aint worth it its like longbedrick said you will most likely get screwed on this deal, u should only trust this guy as far as you can throw him! IMO i wouldnt even entertain the thought

[old Rusty C10]

unless youre a legitimate mechanic who can produce a repair order or a land owner who can produce a parking lease then you can file for title under a lein for unpaid monies on the truck and get title that way

[munger]

he says he has someone working on it but im not holding my breath

fathoe-is your 6.2 completly stock?or have you done something to get that good of mileage

[bikes&bowties]

If i see a add that says no title or the like. I click the back button. Its a waste of your time because when all is said and done you could have found something better with a title. Just keep looking

[munger]

I found a add on Kansas city cl a 92 gmc 6.5 I'm going to see were that goes

[Benelli]

I have an idea where a 6.2 is in Nebraska.

Are you looking for a 2wd or a 4wd?

[munger]

4wd
