Visit a Wisconsin DMV.........try to find someone nice and knowledgeable, that can be a challenge. They should be able to walk you through the process. I assume your going to rebuild or use the wisconsin vehicle as the base for the project ?
I did this twice a few years back and had no issues with getting a new title and new VIN plate after getting the vehicle inspected by the highway patrol. This was a while back and the process May have changed. Mine were both barn finds almost complete non runners, no titles, no plates did a complete restoration. I did have a bill of sale on both that had a VIN and cost and seller signed. The new state assigned VIN tag had to be welded to the door frame.
if you have several trucks and parts, frame, bodies etc to make one truck in the end..........you only need one good title and one VIN plate that match to make this work.
The above only applies to Wisconsin residents and their process to title. You are likely only concerned with and IL title.
Since your in IL and likely will title there............IL will accept a bill of sale from a state that does not title old vehicles. I lived in IL and did this on a dozens motorcycles purchased from a state like Georgia that uses bill of sale only on old vehicles. You do need a knowledgeable IL DMV worker that knows the bill of sale states and or knows how to these the book they have at each DMV.
Georgia is only one of many states that don’t title older vehicles. Georgia can title older vehicles but it’s a special request.
