In Pa you must have legal titles to all the trucks you used parts from and they all must be in your name. You can also have a billof sale from either the registered owner if you bought parts off their truck or a recipt from a salvage yard. Also PA started a new reconstructed title process last year requring the vehicle to be inspected by a cetified reconstructed title inspection station not just any station will do. These stations charge between $175 and $300 just for paper work fees. The vehicle must perfectly safe and legal for inspection or they will fail you, I saw someone fail because the window sprayer didn't work. Also in PA for a reconstructed title the vehicle must appear 100% stock. Which means no hood scoops, lifts of any kind, or tinted windows. PA's laws really sucks when it comesto this, I had my 79 F350 reconstructed last year because I put it on a 85 F350 4x4 frame. The guy charged me $220 just for fees and his pictures for the state. He also had to get an unlaiden weight to determine the light weight to ensure the gvw is correct.

 

Some trucks are like that. They will be stamped whenever the person feels like stamping. But the VIN is in the general vicinity of the aforementioned location.

 

Man, just went through that process. Got my "Specially Constructed Vehicle" title in the mail yesterday. I had to apply for lost title to truck frame and get it noterized. Had title to body. Submit picture of completed vehicle, but, I had originally built it 30 years ago and sold it. Found it after 3 sells later sitting in a barn where it had flooded. Now rebuilding it. Went to title it again and had to start with the issues above. BUT, found the dismissed State troupper ticket for registration, found the envelope from the state Department of Safety of Tennessee for the registration laws and still had pictures of the original vehicle. Put another '66 Galaxie body on it Took all documentation to county clerk and it was titled as a 1966 Ford Galaxie 4D with the truck vin under state code 55-3-104. Finally the little man wins...

 

I bought a 1978 f100 short bed last year and i want to register it but i wondering why does the title have one charecter differrent on the title from the one on the frame frame vin on the title the 3 character is G on the title and H on the frame
