Re: Advice on getting rid of my 69(forgive the story)
No offense meant, but why did you put all that work into a truck with no title? Did you think you had one?

Re: Advice on getting rid of my 69(forgive the story)
Whats up with the title? I know in Idaho you can apply for a lost title, the cost is only about 12 bucks. If there is no leans on the title should be easy enough. What about a title from a donor truck? I know that i have a title for a 68 that will probably go the crusher. You could always swap the vin number???? I know if you contact the DMV they can help

Re: Advice on getting rid of my 69(forgive the story)
Without a title your best bet will probally be parting it alot of new parts

Re: Advice on getting rid of my 69(forgive the story)
Are you sure that you have to have a title? In Alabama I didn't have to have a title for my '70 at all. Just a bill of sale and proof of insurance.

Why don't you just look at buying another cab that has a title? Let's please not discuss illegal VIN swapping here either.

Re: Advice on getting rid of my 69(forgive the story)
I am sure you can find another parts truck local with a good title.
Probably cheap if it doesn't have a motor Swap all your stuff over to that truck. Problem solved.

Re: Advice on getting rid of my 69(forgive the story)
Question...does the title go with the frame or cab? Or...is it a state by state regulation? Also...could a person just go and apply for a lost replacement title. Just some ideas. Good Luck 69Rob with your quest.

Re: Advice on getting rid of my 69(forgive the story)
i was refering to a legal swap of the vin. I have a buddy that did this with a 69 chev. The DMV here in idaho has a gal that comes out and checks it all out for you and watches you attach the vin tag.

Re: Advice on getting rid of my 69(forgive the story)
How long have you had the truck, where did it come from, and why don't you have a title? I bought a 1985 honda 250r three wheeler that the guy didn't have the title for. All I needed was a notarized bill of sale and an inspection from the state patrol. If you know the reason why it doesn't have a title that will make things easier. If you got the truck from a family member and the title is just missing you can just have the said person apply for a replacement title. I had to do that on a car I owned and it was easy and I don't think it cost me anything. But like on my three wheeler since I had to to a bill of sale I had to pay sales taxes on it. Give us somemore info and I think you will get some help on how you can keep the truck.

I bought my truck from a good friend. He had relocated to Wyoming from Minnesota, picked up a mutt truck in that state - with all the title documentation - then ended up selling the truck to me. In Wyoming the title was written up with the frame's VIN. All was fine and good there. When I tried to title it in MN the DMV had a hissy fit about the VIN not matching the VIN on the cab. I stepped away from the clueless one at the window and scheduled a time to have it looked at. I came armed with all the copies of all the titles from Wyoming. I'm sure they ran both VINs to check for a stolen vehicle but in the end I got a new Minnesota title with the cab's VIN. Long story short it DOES depend on your state.

Re: Advice on getting rid of my 69(forgive the story)
The best thing you can do is to contact your local DMV office and see what you are allowed to do by law, only then will you know what options you have available.

Re: Advice on getting rid of my 69(forgive the story)
First of all thanx for the replies. The guy i got the truck from was going to get me the title but ran into some trouble and now cant get me the title. I cant file for lost title since i am not the orignal owner of the truck. And i called the dmv and they told me i shouldnt even mess with it cuase it can take a very long time to get it done. I asked about switching cabs and i would have to have the whole truck inspected after i was done by a state trooper to match the vin number on the frame and cab.

Re: Advice on getting rid of my 69(forgive the story)
What kind of trouble? Is he in jail now, or did he just lose the physical title? If he just lost it, he needs to go apply for a lost title. I had to get a duplicate vehicle title once because I accidentally shredded the original (it was in a stack of other papers I shredded, OOPS!!). I just had to show proof of ownership (an old registration in this case) and ID, and they were able to see in their system that I did in fact own it. They printed off a new title right there for under $20.
Have him call or stop by the county clerk and recorders office.

Re: Advice on getting rid of my 69(forgive the story)
The guy i got it from is not the orignal owner he was going to use some people he knew to get me the title but now he just dont have the funds. There is some one here locally that can get me the title but it will cost me any wheres from 450-700 for them to get it. i just dont have that much money to use on that. I asked a person at the dmv about changing cabs and they said all numbers had to much maybe i got some one who was in a bad mood that day dont know.

Enclose a copy of the owner's valid photo ID and $2 mail-in fee by check, cashier's check or money order (no cash accepted) payable to the Texas Department of Transportation. An agent of the owner or lienholder must also provide a letter of signature authority on original letterhead, a business card or a copy of the agent's employee ID. 3. Mail the application to your vehicle titles and registration regional office. In Person 1. Visit the nearest vehicle titles and registration regional office. 2. Complete a certified copy of title application. 3. Provide a valid photo ID and $5.45 fee for walk-in customers.

Re: Advice on getting rid of my 69(forgive the story)
I just called and walked through some scenarios over the phone:
Rob, call 512.465.7611. ask for your regional offices #, then ask for the procedures to request a bonded title. They can pull the vin# over the phone and direct you to the best scenario.. I also mentioned that i wanted to purchase a wrecked parts truck because my cab from KS. is in bad shape, and asked if i had to have it inspected and was told no. Best of luck...
