Help locating a truck
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way that I could find my first truck. My first truck was a 91 Ranger w a 4.oL, 5 speed. This little balck truck was my first new car and boy it would "run like a scalded dog". We move forward to today...while cleaning up the attic I found my paperwork when I bought the truck and that got me to thinking how much I would like to have it back. I have the VIN number and asked a friend who is a police officer if he could run the number and tell me who owned it. Yes and No, yes HE could run the number but NO he could not tell me due to some legal stuff. I traded the truck in for a 93 Lighting so I really don't have a clue where it might be. SO, does anyone know how I can find my long lost truck...any ideas...
Thanks

i tried the same thing earlier this year, i was trying to find a truck a bought new in 1995 but sold in 2002. i ran a carfax and it shows when it got a title transfer and where it was registered but that was it.
a frined of mine lives in the area and so do a few people on FTE and i posted a pic but no luck.
the only reason i wanted it was because it was a nice truck and i wanted a play toy and thought i would try to find that one, but as i said, no luck, i would still buy it now if i ever came across it, lots of memories in that truck.

If you ran it on carfax at least you'd know if it was still with the living (ie: not written off), if it had been through a bunch of hands (multiple registrations), possibly what kind of miles it was racking up, and if it had moved far far away or was still in the area, so you could (at least negatively) decide whether it was still worth chasing.
