questions about truck title

[Dead Parrot]

Take pictures of the VIN plate, door plate and such, then go to what serves as your state's vehicle registration authority. Be honest about what happened. Ask how to get a new title in your state. There is a process for it. If the process seems too much of a PITA, go to a different person/location and ask the same question. Sometimes the first person you ask is new or just doesn't give a flip.

I recently went through this when I bought a M35A2 from someone via a CL listing. Only thing I got was a Bill of Sale. Based on what I can tell, the thing went through the DRMO process and a farm auction + who knows what before the person I bought it from got it. I don't think any of the PO bothered to get a state registration.

It took a bit but I now have a OK title and tag. Part of the process was taking the VIN or serial number on the M35 and doing a stolen vehicle/lien search. Assuming nothing comes up, should be a fairly easy process.
