ok hey everybody,,, lots of posts. Finally figured the issue out. As all of you guys know i bought several cabs, two chassis and lots of parts... The gentlemen said that the 5 window cab had a title. Ok, i heard yes to title and made the deal. I took everything home and nothing matched the title, had two engines, didn't match, three cabs, didn't match. I googled and found out that these trucks supposedly before 55 were titled through the engine vin number. I put the title in my name anyways. Say i go to sell the truck.. the person i sell it to would have the same problem. Someone suggested to get a repro vin plate and just stamp it to match the title. I bought a repro vin plate and was going to do that but it just didn't give me peace of mind at all. honestly,... who would ever know the difference?
Called third party title service, explained the situation and they said i needed a level 2 inspection. they only send someone out to do level 1.
towed the truck to DMV, inspector (real jerk) inspected gave me a piece of paper. went back to DMV and then they put a 30000 bond on the truck. 300 to buy the bond. went back to DMV and got a bonded title.
Here is the kicker the darn piece of paper the moron inspector gave me said level 1 inspection........!!!! i could of saved 120 dollars on towing. Anyways now i have peace of mind and one title that matches the cab and another title that well,,,,, doesn't match anything.
