I recently purchased this truck from an individual who's grandfather owned it. The grandfather is deceased and the gentleman doesn't know alot about it. It has no title that can be found. The VIN# is N70EUE52577. I'm including a few pics. Any help would be awesome. TIA
No title--The estate of the late grandfather will have to provide you with some info and probably a form or two. Which they should have done prior to selling it. Check your DMV for the process of getting a new title upon sale. You might try checking the frame rail on the passenger side about even with the alternator to see if you can find the stamped VIN which should match the one on the door.

I really do appreciate the info. I'm assuming some of the original paint is still there.
Cool project! In my area parts for the N series are pretty much impossible to find. Within a 100 mile or more radius I only know of 2 N series trucks. Both are in my driveway. I have been restoring one for nearly 2 yrs already a long term process.

I'm finding out the lack of parts. Looks like I will be testing my fabrication skills a bit.
