A good thing to do is IF you have the vin # is to go to a SMALL town and ask Clara or Barney to trace your truck. It works every time for me but, I live in a small town. If it's out there it can be found. However if it was sold with out a title (some people take an old vehicle and get a home made title), works in Florida and many other states. It is not unheard of for some people to have a title and register one that has no title. Good luck if it has the original title still on record, it can be found. OR it can be a 1951 etc. Chevy of any size any type. State DOT does not keep track so therefore the Fed DOT does not either. From an old guy that used to work for DOT. Doc
