New to this forum, I need a little help with a registration form in Texas please. I just bought a '55 f-100 in Arizona,need to transfer title. On the application it ask for empty weight, carrying capacity, and tonnage. I don't have any of this info, can anyone help me out please. Also, it has a place for the sellers signature, he did sign and notarized the old title. Also sent a signed sales receipt, how to get around not being able to get his signature on the application? Will post pics when it arrives from the desert , thanks for any help in advance. L8R ZFLASH

 

Hey Z,
I'm in Austin & have a registered 1950 F1. The process in
Travis County wasn't hugely involved - You just need a bill of sale &
a blue title. They may ask you to provide proof of Vin # as well. That would require you to go to an inspection place & get them to fill out the form verifying your vin# on the vehicle.

It's been a while but I don't think it was much more complicated than that other than the check you have to write for the priviledge of getting Texas plates & registration. Are you running into some problems?

Welcome aboard. Somebody should be along soon to help you out.

 

Welcome and congrats!

 

Here's the weight info, close enough between 55 and 53

 

Thanks, this new project will take away some $$$ from my baby. L8R ZFLASH

 

Thanks, that helped out. Look forward to more of ya'lls input from here out.

 

Hey Zflash,
Nice but not as cool as an old truck, Hey before I forget - remember to bring proof of insurance to the title place - can't get anything done in this state without that.

Thanks got it yesterday, truck was picked up in AZ. yesterday too. Can I get it registered and plates before it gets here, or do I have to get it inspected first? Thanks, L8R ZFLASH

 

Hey Z,
I'd give it a shot with what you have - might work just fine.
If they ask for a vin verification then you get an extra step before getting plates.
