The story on this old truck is a old man had it and couldnt get it to start back in the mid 60s. they tried and tried and never could. so to get it out of the way they shoved it back into an old barn. it sat in the old barn from 68 until 2008. and they tore the old barn down to build a house. so they backed it into the little shed it was in. it had 0 dents in it until that time when they pushed it with a tractor to move it. it still has the original flathead 8 in it with no carb. the old guy passed away in the early 90s and his wife inherited it. she passed away in 94 and the oldest sibling didnt want it. so he gave it to george. its just been sitting for 45 years. the brakes wasnt locked up. no idea on the motor yet. it has 106694 miles on it. everything is original as best i can tell. the title is going to be a big pain though.
put in for an abandoned title through your motor vehicle division. The fact you know the history makes it easier to track down people. As far as I know if you put in for the abandoned title and noone responds within a certain amount of time, the vehicle is yours and they issue you a title. I would check into that before you start investing $$$.
