bought this 49 in pcs with rear frame ford,but front has been changed to gm,has the vin # on glove box which includes a -, if i put a - with vin number it says unknown,when i put vin# without a -,it shows as being a 1949 ford f100 v8,i need to try to get title,im in florida,hopefully when i tell title company,they will try without a - in vin

 

Have you thought about just getting a salvage title for it? Just a thought for options.

 

not yet,going to try this title company 1st,after that i may try salvage title,hated seeing this 49 just laying there rotting away,body work is keeping me busy for now,before i start on frame work i will try title work-thanks

 

does your vin number have a dash in it?

 

I'm not sure. I'd have to check when I get home.

 

It should not have a dash in it. Maybe you could post a pic of the number/tag?

 

ill take a picture shorly and post,i dont think there should be a - either!!!!!!-thanks

 

Is the Title Company a sanctioned Florida business - Some companies are less then honest and can take a bunch of money and may cause the loss of the vehicle - Just a heads up.

 

thanks-yes their name is florida title and theyve been in tampa for years

Hugjean, welcome to FTE!

Your pics didn't appear in your post. The pics have to be somewhere on the Internet before you can post them. Try this:

Go to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and sign up for a free account. Then create an album for your truck. Upload any pics you want to post on FTE to that album. Have this album open on your computer when you want to post pics on FTE.

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...ghtsafter1.jpg

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

Hope that helps.

 

thanks for the tips,i will try

Did you get a title situation figured out? I considered buying a few without titles here in New Mexico, and the process bothers me a little. I am more curious now, because I am possibly moving to Florida, and curious about the process.
