I can't speak for your state, but most have privacy laws now that make locating owners VERY dificult.
I'd be hard pressed to pay more than 200 bucks for a good running beat up rust bucket.

Just go to your local DMV and have them do a lost title search. Yeah, I know it will take them three months or longer to find the title, but it’s the best way to get a lost title IMO. As for the truck, I would say no more than a few hundred for it given from what you've said, but without pictures I can't give an exact amount.

Call your DMV and see if YOU are able to do a title search on SOMEONE ELSE'S truck. At least, if you intend on fixing the title issue.
I'd do that before purchase, and I would get a bill of sale and have it notorized with a 3rd party witnes.
Gotta cover your rear.
