just got back from local court house. They suggested applying for a rebuild title because the vin on the frame is different from the one on the door. Just need original receipts of work or parts bought for truck, send a crapload of paperwork to state, and hopefully they will approve a rebuild title.
Gonna start the ball rolling and keep on trying to contact PO too. I'll try to post a pic or two of my truck.

The PO or PPO might have changed the door since they may of had the same title problem?

Its the safe route to go, you would not want to loose the truck in some BS door/title swapping deal.

It you can contact the PO its like $12.00 to apply for a lost title in my state, except the actual owner has to submit the paperwork. But he sounds like a shady character anyway.

77bigboyf250- sounds like you have a good deal there, go for it. Post a pic for us if it works out.

78countryboy-hang in there and get the title issue worked out, and thanks but no thanks on the 76/79 rig.

Have you looked in my FTE garage lately, and I have other projects in the works.
