COE people title help

Coe guys how do you registered your coeS?
I DO NOT have a title for my coe but I do have the vin plate that was in the firewall.
I have AAA so I could ask them if they could help me get a title I also have a buddy who works at a towing company I could ask him to help me get a lean sale at least.
Or I could try to go to the DMV and deal with them.
I am going the Pick Up route not the car hauler.
It will be sitting on a 1980 3/4 chevy chassis.
Thannks a lot

COE's would register just like any other vehicle. They're nothing special from that standpoint. I've read other people here having pretty good luck going through AAA, so you might give that a go and see what happens.

Seth, the process varies state to state......there was a thread awhile back with a link to the SEMA site???
Maybe a Cal. member has some tips? Call AAA and ask, it can't hurt.

I am in the process of getting a title right now.....got the vin inspected on Saturday.....

Not sure about the title BUT but do 1980 3/4 ton pickups have to do smog inspection in CA? If so then maybe go older to avoid that. It used to be any vehicle that got an engine swap to a newer model engine had to meet the SMOG requirements for the newer engine.

I went with the California DMV route when I registered my frame. I purchased a frame with a rear end to replace an axle that I snapped on my 56. 25 plus years later I decide to build my truck in this frame. Of course I had no paperwork at all on the frame. I got a peace officer to sign off on the VIN number and I did a statement of facts stating that I had the frame in my possession for 25 years but lost the paperwork. It took numerous trips to the DMV to get it through, but within a couple of weeks I had title and plates. The toughest part for me was obtaining a weigh ticket. Because it is a truck, California requires a weigh ticket from a public scale. Since this was only a frame and I had already taken apart my other truck it was a bit of a challenge. I eventually got a weigh ticket (I won’t say how) and was able to get title.

Das54:yes all vehicles after 1975 have to pass smog.
I think Im going to try to get AAA to get me a title.
This is the Vin Nunber: C5R1LB-19### 14000 158 90 3500
4HD 6.67 H9K 183.
So I am guessing:
C-Cabover
5-f5
R-v8
1-1951
LB-long beast
I dont know what the rest means tho

If you buy an out of state truck do they require a vin check/verification in California? Utah does.

I have titled a couple trucks using the (duplicate title form) where the owner has lost title and the dmv looks up (verifys their name and vehicle) then will issue a duplicate/replacement title.
I have also gone the "insuficient evidence" route as as well where you have the vin inspected and fill out a couple forms as to how, you acquired the truck etc, include some pictures of it and your done.
