Title Help!!! Desperate
Jim, That's good to hear. Sounds like you might have yer problem resolved shortly.
(On another note, Don't the mid fifties trucks also have the VIN numbers stamped on the frames? My 50 F1 does, and also had a VIN tag on the inside glove box door and Firewall. Are you only replacing the inside glovebox door VIN tag? Would VA give you any more headaches if your frame and glove box door VIN tags did not jive? Hope this doesn't produce a new problem for you.)

i am from va also, i am sure that none of our "dedicated" dmv workers would check, that might require work, which is something they know little of. besides you do not have to bring the truck with you.

Title Help!!! Desperate
Hey, listen to this...I bought my '60 F100 in Indiana in December, and I live in Ohio. When I went to the BMV to title it, they gave me the same business, and I even had a title.
What I had to do was go to a car dealership that did VIN searches on out of state vehicles to check for any theft reports. All they did was looked at the VIN on the glovebox, asked me a few questions and filled out a form that verified the truck was not reported stolen. With that, I ran back to the BMV and got it titled! No prob.
I bet that's what you have to do. Get ahold of a salvage yard or the State Highway Patrol. If they are too busy (sometimes you have to schedule an appointment for crying out loud), they can tell you who else does that. Whoever does official VIN searches can come to you, but I said heck with it and drove it over to the place! No license plates....and no registration! HA!
