Apply for lost title OR...
There is an ad in hemmings motor news for a place that will sell you a title for any vehicle 1985 or under,providing the vehicle's VIN isnt listed as stolen or any current leins,they are located in alabama,last I heard it costs 150 bucks to do this--but I'd say try applying for a lost title first,and see what happens....
I think the Title laws are B.S.--I've seen more rust free decent trucks get parted out or crushed just because someone lost the title,or the owner died an nobody knew where to find it..Our state requires a title for EVERY truck,no matter what year it is--even if its a 1937 GMC or something,its retarded-
-my friend had to buy a title for his 62 nova from that place I mentioned above,because the original title had leins on it from 1966,that were never paid--he tried tracking down the leinholder--he died in 1970!--but the DMV refused to clear the title,so he had to buy one--I think the way it works,you send them your paperwork and they register the car in alabama,and you get an alabama title,then you can use that title to get one in your state....not sure exactly how it goes,but it must be legal,it worked for him and a few other people I know...
-I'm going to sue you !!
