Any further updates on the location of this truck? (Since the last few posts completely derailed the thread haha)

The fast update... Spoke with the IL DMV and was told a Title Search should work which takes some time but should give me what I'm looking for... I'm not 100% sure he knew but that is one more possibility. I have to call them and follow the process once I confirm details.

I also posted it on my Facebook page and someone contacted me who is going to run the VIN at the DMV through a contact. He had me write a letter which he will give to the DMV contact in order to run the VIN. That is my biggest hope at this point and I should know the result by Friday.

I was not able to find a person in Law Enforcement to run the VIN. But have not given up on that either.

At this point I'm planting lots and lots of seeds and something is going to grow and produce the fruit aka current owner.

I have some other things I'm doing but working on a project for work and deadline is tomorrow. Thursday I will be able to give it some more attention.

Update: I had a good lead on someone at the DMV in the area where the truck was sold. (I'm in NW Indiana about a 6 hour drive). So that did NOT pan out because the guy I knew said his contact is not able to run the VIN without a log or something. His person at the DMV said I need to go thru the State and do a Title Search (which I have heard about) which I have to write a letter and send a fee. So I will be calling the State this week to get that ball rolling.
