Update:
Step One: The Sheriff came out yesterday. (Small town, I guess theres not much to do in a small town)
When he walked up, he said COOL!!!!!
He spent over an hour crawling all over the vehicle. Found numbers in places that I hadn't even seen. Took pictures of them all and several views of the vehicle.
I told him I had pictures I could send him. He said that he had to take pictures to assure that these were the actual parts on the truck.
Had me fill out a bunch of paper work.
Told me not to put a wrench to the vehicle yet.
He has to make out a report that shows pictures and his observance and testimony that there were no tools used on the vehicle and no parts replaced on the vehicle prior to inspection. (All original) That way when it goes to the State, they can cross check a national database of reported stolen parts. Makes sense.
Glad I hadn't started taking it apart yet.
All in all, a lot of work he has to do and a great value for only $20.00
When he was leaving, I asked him doesn't he want to know what make and year the vehicle it is.
He said, that wasn't his job. Once it was sent to the State, they would determined that with all the information and photo's the sheriff has supplied, and it would be on the title once issued. Wish I would have known that in the beginning. Let the State do all of the research! Hah.
Now this is the best bang for the buck. It looks like the State does the biggest part of the work and research and it will only cost me $3.50 Thats three dollars and fifty cents, not three hundred and fifty dollars.
But now it's killing me that I can't work on disassembling things for a week or so. Ugh!!!!!
Thanks to all for the help so far.
Hope as a newby that I don't get on everyones nerves asking so many questions.
Dave
